Our Greatest Fear

Published: Oct. 14, 2020, 11:21 p.m.

Please don’t be a coronavirus for Halloween.  I see the costumes on Amazon.  30-bucks and you have a latex mask with the spiky nubs sticking out of your perfectly round rubber head.  I get it… it’s trendy.  But if you show up at my door as a Virus … I’m gonna give you bleach.  Instead of candy. But the more important reason to avoid this costume is… that it doesn’t scare anybody. There’s a new study that shows what people fear.  A company called YourLocal Security sifted through all the google searches about phobias… to find out what people in each state are most afraid of.  And I’m afraid the answers are pretty disturbing. They range from the predictable.  Montana fears clowns. In Missouri people fear being alone. In Wyoming people fear flying.  Florida… the biggest phobia is germs.  So go be a coronavirus in Floirida. Meantime Oregon is afraid of the dark.  Ha haha… in Idaho… they fear people.  That’s the most searched phobia. But for a truly unique phobia…. all you have to do is look outside your door.   In Utah…. the thing we fear most isn’t a clown. Or the Dark or a Virus. In Utah… in the Beehive State….  our biggest fear…. is Failure. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
