BadFisherman Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas
 
Massachusetts...Lewis Black on Boston traffic: “The last person to get across that town in under three hours was yelling, ‘The British are coming! The British are coming!'”

Michigan...What do you call 40 guys watching the Super Bowl on television? The Detroit Lions.

Minnesota...What are the four seasons in Minnesota? Almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction.

Mississippi...How do you know when you’re staying in a Mississippi hotel? When you call the front desk and say, “I’ve gotta leak in my sink,” and the person at the front desk says, “Go ahead.”

Missouri...A man from Kansas City walks into a bar and asks, “Wanna hear a joke about people from St. Louis?”

The bartender says, “Listen, pal, I’m from St. Louis, and I won’t appreciate it. The man sitting next to you is 265 pounds, and he’s from St. Louis too. And the bouncer, that huge guy there, is also from St. Louis. So do you still want to tell that joke?”

“No,” says the guy from Kansas City. “Not if I have to explain it three times.”

Montana...Four women are driving across the country together, each one from a different state: Idaho, Nebraska, Montana, and California. Shortly after the trip begins, the woman from Idaho pulls potatoes from her bag and throws them out the window. “What are you doing?” asks the Nebraskan.

“We have so many of these things in Idaho, I’m sick of looking at them.”

A moment later, the gal from Nebraska pulls ears of corn from her bag and tosses them from the window. “What are you doing?” asks the gal from Montana.

“We have so many of these things in Nebraska, I’m sick of looking at them.”

Inspired, the Montanan opens the car door and kicks the Californian out.

Nebraska...Just keep driving. When something changes, you’ll know you’re out of Nebraska.

New Hampshire...The state motto is “Live Free or Die,” which appears on license plates made by prisoners. —Jon Stewart on The Daily Show

New Jersey...As you know, the bear hunting season in New Jersey is a little bit different. First, they shoot the bear and then they bury it in a construction site. —Late Show with David Letterman

Yes ! I know it's a joke ! But for
the record (and a little extra clarification of that little case
of irony); prisoners DO make our plates, but the phrase "Live Free
or Die" refers to freedom from tyranny, and NOT freedom from legal incarceration !

A similar sentiment was voiced by another famous patriot from the
American Revolution, Patrick Henry, who said "Give me liberty
or give me death" ! Just an example of the assertive sense
of independence typical of N.H.
natives, then and now !

Thanks for posting this BF, of course we learned about our neighbors to the north in school. I don't know if actual history is taught anymore, or just revisionist history. Probably the latter, but those that learned the original,are proud to live in the birthplace of this country.
