50 jokes for 50 states

I found this also in Reader's Digest. I thought it was hilarious (some anyway). I will do several a day until I get to all 50.

Alabama: When a visitor to a twon in Alabama spotted a dog attacking a boy, he grabbed the animal and throttled it with his bare hands. An impressed reporter saw the incident adn told him the next day's headline would scream "Valiant Local Man Saves Child by Killing Vicious Animal."
"I'm not from this town," said the hero.
"Then," the reporter said, "it will say 'Alabama Man Saves Child by Killing Dog.'"
"Actually," said the man, "I'm from New Hampshire."
"In that case," the reporter grumbled, "the headline will be 'Yankee Kills Family Pet.'"

Alaska: An Alaskan was on trial in Anchorage. The prosecutor leaned menacingly toward him and asked, "Where were you on the night of April to October?"

Arizona: It's so hot in Arizona, cows are giving evaporated milk and the trees are whistling for dogs.

Arkansas: An Arkansas state trooper pulls over a pick up truck on I-40. He says to the driver, "Got any ID?"
The driver asks, " 'bout what?"

California: The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the FBI, and the CIA want to see who is best at catchint perps. So a rabbit is realeased into the forest, and each of them has to catch it.
The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After months of extensive investigation, they conclude that rabbits to not exist.
The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads, they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit.
The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later, dragging a bruised mountain lion behind them. The mountain lion is yelling, "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"

Colorado: How do you know you're in the presence of a real Coloradan? He carries his $3000 mountain bike on top of his $500 car.

Connecticut: What's the difference between Massachusetts and Connecticut? The Kennedy's don't own Connecticut.

that's it for today. Stay tuned for the next few.
