Four guys were driving cross country together-one from Idaho, one from Iowa, one from Florida and the last one from New York.
A bit down the road the man from Idaho starts to pull potatoes from his bag and begins throwing them out the window.
The man from Iowa turns to him and asks "What the hell are you doing?"
The man from Idaho says, "Man, we have SO MANY of these damned things in Idaho, they're laying on the ground - I'm sick of looking at them!!!"
A few miles down the road, the man from Iowa begins pulling husks of corn from his bag and throwing them out the window.
The man from Florida asks "What are you doing that for?"
The man from Iowa replies, "Man, we have so many of these damned things in Iowa that I am SICK of looking at them!!"
Inspired by the others, the man from Florida opens the car door and pushes the New Yorker out!
Heh. The Oregon variation would have a Californian exiting the car.
ReplyDeleteRemember, Buck, most of today's Californians are from someplace else... or too young to remember when it was where nearly everyone wanted to be.
DeleteA good number of Oregonians were once Californians
DeleteHeh. Oregon... the home of the Un-Greeting Card. :-)
DeleteFurther... you guys DO know I spent over ten years livin' in The-Once-Golden-State, right? Three years in El-Eh, three years in the SFO Bay Area, one year in Boron, and four years in Lompoc. So I have a lil bit o' experience in that space.
DeleteSeems like you've only liked in California, rather than lived
DeleteI can remember when California was only the third most populous state... behind Pennsylvania and New York
Even the older folks were born here
What happened?
Folks moved here because they didn't like wherever they came from ...and decided California needed fixing
