A Texan, a Californian and an Oregonian...

          A Texan, a Californian, and an Oregonian are traveling together by car. In the early evening they stop by the side of the road in a remote area to refresh themselves.
          The Texan pulls a bottle of Tequila from the back of his car, polishes off most of the bottle, throws it up in the air, pulls out a six-shooter and neatly shoots the bottle. The Californian, wide-eyed, asks, “Why did you do that? There was still Tequila in the bottle.” The Texan replies, “I’m from Texas, and we have plenty of Tequila where I come from. I can always get some more.”
          The Californian then goes to the car, pulls out a bottle of Red Shiraz from Sonoma wine country, drinks most of the bottle, then throws the bottle up in the air, pulls out his Glock semi-automatic & shoots the bottle, neatly. The Texan asks, “Why did you do that? There was still wine in the bottle.” The Californian replies, “I’m from California, and we have plenty of Shiraz where I come from. I can always get some more.
          The Oregonian then goes to the car, pulls out a bottle of Henry Weinhard’s Blue Boar Ale, polishes off most of it, throws the bottle in the air, pulls out his 44 Magnum, shoots the Californian and neatly catches the bottle. The Texan, horrified, asks, “Why did you do that?” The Oregonian replies, “I’m from Oregon. We have plenty of Californians, where I come from, and besides, I can get a nickel deposit back on this bottle.”


Internet anonymous humor

This has been in my stash since long before I lived on the Oregon Washington border. 
I used to think it was hilarious. Now that I've met many gentle Portlanders...I still think it's funny. Forgive, please.
