Goodbyes vary from culture to culture. Some wave. Others bow. Still more bid adieu through a series (read eight or nine) reaching attempting to simultaneously bring an interaction to a close and at the same time stave off the unpleasantness of saying, "Farewell." Anyone who lives between longitude 43° 34'N to 49° 23'N and latitude 89° 34'W to 97° 12'W has experienced the quintessential "Minnesota goodbye."
