I used to have to go to Grand Forks a couple of times per year for my work. My stay's would normally be for about a week and I'd stay at a place near the University, which is located there. One evening I was in the bar of the motel and noticed they had T-Shirts for sale in a display case by the door. Printed on the T-Shirts was a Bull's Eye and each of the rings had part of this printed within them: I've been to the exact middle of nowhere, Grand Forks, North Dakota. Hell of a way to advertise your own town, but it did make me laugh to see it.
