[ On the Lighter Side...]
Since I lived in California for nine years and now reside in Seattle, I think it's okay to poke fun at the following...
A Texan, a Californian, and a Seattlite were drinking their favorite beverage in a bar. The Texan drained his glass of tequila, threw the half full bottle up in the air, drew and fired his pistol, shattering the bottle. The other two were shocked at his ruining perfectly good tequila. The Texan, however, simply drew himself up and announced, "Where I come from, we have plenty of tequila."
The Californian, not to be outdone, drained his glass of wine, threw the wine bottle into the air, drew and fired his pistol, also shattering his bottle. Looking over at the other two with an air of superiority, he announced, "Where I come from, we have plenty of fine wine and the best of everything!"
The Seattlite drained his bottle of Red Hook Ale(a local brew), threw it up in the air, drew his pistol and shot the Californian dead. He then caught the bottle on the way down and showed it to the Texan saying, "Where I come from we recycle these -- and we have plenty of Californians." |
