Fans of the American version of The Office know that the show glorifies the intersection of I-81 and I-84, also known as Scranton, PA. They also know that Jim Halpert moonlights as the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but that's for another day. What they may not know is that Scranton has been named the worst city for asthma in the United States. This does not mean that asthma has a difficult time living in Scranton (I hear he likes it quite a bit there), but that if you have asthma you do not want to live in Scranton. Can we blame this on Michael?
