5 Phrases Cheyenne Residents Find Hilarious

There are a handful of things that only those who have spent time in Cheyenne will get...

1. "Green Door" - Of course refers to The Green Door bar, and uh... dance club? located in downtown Cheyenne. Chances are if you've lived in Cheyenne long enough, you may have a story or two where the punch line ends "The Green Door!" Comedian Bill Burr even visited this Cheyenne landmark. 

2. "Roundabout" - Most of the world knows what a traffic roundabout is. But for some reason, Cheyenne just can't nail the roundabout technique. A handful of drivers got it down quick, but some drivers seem to have a panic attack when they see it approaching. Our listeners recently reacted negatively to the roundabout.

3. "Carved Bear" - Maybe the most overblown story in human history belongs to the city of Cheyenne. A carved bear used as a yard decoration created a debate that lasted over a year and made national news. The Mayor of Cheyenne finally came up with a solution that pleased most residents. 

4. "Storm In The Forecast" - Cheyenne meteorologists are always wrong.  Not because they're bad at their jobs, but because Cheyenne has the weirdest weather on the planet. When there's a "storm coming" we're never sure if we'll get two feet of snow and hurricane force winds, or if it will sprinkle lightly. That's why we have a forecast updated hourly for you, we recommend you actually check it every hour.

5. "Richard Johnson" -  To anyone else, it's just a name. To Cheyenne residents, it's Cheyenne's funniest politician. The City Councilman for Cheyenne's Ward 3 is the youngest elected official in the capital city. He also regularly posts hilarious photos in his own, cleverly titled Facebook page "Richard Johnson, You Have Failed this City."
