The DMV wants you to donate an Oregon

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Nope, I still don't get it. Am I missing some American knowledge?

[-] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

They say to donate organs (or volunteer to do so upon your death) and some people are too simple for 3-syllable words, so they pronounce Oregon as organ. So when they heard the clerk say organ, they thought they were hearing Oregon. So they're donating Oregon.

I'm pretending this is why few people seem to like this meme, rather than it actually just being a shit joke lol

Nobody outside the US knows what shape Oregon is, if that even is even the connection to the piece of wood

But it's the most distinguishable state shape and easily the most famous US state. Don't they at least teach about William S. McLoughlin in world history? Everyone knows "that story" about when he worked as an aide to Portland Mayor Baker in 1913
