#USAManor! US Virgin Islands

[ask-the-usa-manor]

In reference to an older post-

Why are you only 89.9% sure you're all a couple centuries too old and slightly too immortal for the majority of humanity? What is stopping you from saying 100%? The Queen has died, yk

“Well,” Maryland started, “The extra 10.1% is just a precautionary measure incase we’re counting territories and US Virgin Islands decides to hit on a human around 107, her age—”

“Which I won’t—”

“—Or if we’re counting out-of-country siblings, like 59-year-old Marshall Islands. And to not risk disrespecting any possibly immortal beings out there.”

Is America Samoa or the US Virgin islands around?

Because if so, I must thank you two! You help me so much in avoiding taxes it is unreal

“You’re… welcome?” US Virgin Islands reluctantly replied, “I think?”

“You’re welcome!” American Samoa added more decisively, “Honestly we’re just grateful to be acknowledged at all.”
