Kansas City folks. - Yeah, it's a great place.

Elmo's been there, too. - Isn't it great? Yeah.

- Very polite. Mm-hmm. - Yes.

- So does Kansas have a official state cookie?

- Oh. - Oh, that's a good question.

- And then there's Kansas City, Missouri.

Kansas, you know, it looks almost like a rectangle,
