No Hoosier joke: Pie are square
(Pizza King, Arni's Pizza, Uncle Tubby's)
It happens anywhere that a state line crosses through a metro area: Folks on one side of the border tell rude jokes about the other, and vice-versa.
So there's no use pretending that Kentuckians don't tell Hoosier jokes. We laugh at their rumored penchant for turning left from the right lane and we're still kicking around Coach Bobby Knight after all these years. And we can't resist keeping alive the memory of the embarrassing moment in the Indiana State Legislature in 1897, when a few wacky Hoosiers tried to redefine the mathematical constant pi as a simpler number.
But here's a Hoosier culinary constant that is no joke: Over there, pie are square.
Pizza pie, that is. While pizza in Louisville is customarily cut in pie-shaped wedges, in the style of New York City and Bella Italia, Southern Indiana family pizzerias almost invariably serve their round, thin-crust pies in neat, 3-inch squares.
