South Carolina consistently ranks in Top Ten lists all over the Internet. We even have the world’s favorite city, according to one poll. But, if you live here then you know there are some things we would change about our fine state – if we could. In this list, we make an attempt at humorous ways to make a few tweaks to the Palmetto State in order to make things a little more livable here. Take a look at these 11 simple humorous fixes that could solve some of our biggest problems.

  1. One of these posted at every entrance to the state.

  1. A mandatory EXTRA three weeks of vacation every year JUST for South Carolina residents.

  1. Get rid of all the roads - and subsequently all the potholes!

  1. Let’s truck in sand to widen the beaches.

  1. A job - with a decent wage - for everyone.

  1. Worse food selections.

Flickr/jpellgen It’s so easy to put on pounds here when the food is so good. South Carolina is endowed with some of the best chefs in the world. Admit it, you want to lick your screen right now this Shrimp and Grits looks so good.

  1. Solar-powered outdoor air conditioning all over the state.

Flickr/Open Grid Scheduler / Grid Engine Follow Why not? It could happen. Twenty five years ago they looked at me weird when I said we should be able to see each other through our cell phones.

  1. An elevator or a road to the top of Table Rock.

  1. Fewer traffic jams….

  1. …and more wide open highways.

  1. A miracle serum that kills off all the no-seeums.
