25 Things That Last Longer Than The Kentucky Derby Race
The Kentucky Derby is coming up this Saturday which means...I don't know...drinking, big hats and guys who refer to each other as "Buddy" and "Pal," I think???
Each May, people descend on the great state of Kentucky to watch horses with outrageous names like Always Dreaming, Irish War Cry and my personal favorite, Hence (seriously, look it up) run around in a circle while getting wasted.
In the past, races have ended as quickly as two minutes, making for one really expensive trip to Kentucky and a few brief moments of excitement.
I don't know about you, but I'd want my money and sobriety back.
Here are 25 things we thought of that last longer than The Kentucky Derby race:
1. Your stomach pain after eating hot wings.
2. The credits at the end of a music video.
3. Cooking soup in your microwave.
4. Shaving your legs.
5. The time it takes to leave your apartment and ride the elevator down to the first floor.
6. Your social media-obsessed friend's Instagram story.
