As a Wisconsinite I feal that there should at least be one reference each to beer and cheese when refering to the badger state, then they might have been perfect.
Well Jeff, Darlin, I must say as one raised in gool ol' beertown, you were almost complete there. If you add the Pack and brats, I'd agree totally.
In fact, I may have to go get some brats and beer to grill this coming weekend and have a good ol' fashioned Milwaukee-style cookout. Two kinds of tater salad, at least that many kinds of beer, brats and burgers, yeah, I think I'm seeing what my weekend's gonna be all about... thanks, neighbor!
I've posted this joke before, but I don't remember if it was here or on another site.
Apologies if it was here. Anyway ---- here it is again (with modifications).
A 75 year old man won the Wisconsin lottery, and he decided to get a new car. He had always wanted a corvette, and now he could afford it so that's what he bought. Paid cash for it and took it out on the highway for a drive.
Speed limit in Wisconsin (on the inter-state highways) is 65 MPH. He hit that easily, and decided to go faster. 75 MPH and the car responded. 80 MPH, then 85 MPH. That's when he noticed the flashing lights of the Wisconsin State Patrol Trooper behind him. He panicked and punched the gas pedal to the floor. In no time flat --- he was doing 120 MPH with the cop still behind him.
Suddenly he thought --- "What the heck am I doing!!?? I shouldn't be running from the law!" So he pulled over to the side of the highway there. The state trooper pulled up behind him, and got out of his patrol car, and walked forward to the elderly gentleman in the corvette, ticket book in hand.
The trooper took one look at the driver and said:
"Sir. I pulled you over for speeding. It's 4:45 PM on a Friday evening,
and I'm supposed to be off the clock in 15 minutes.
Now --- if you can give me an excuse that I haven't heard before as to why you were speeding,
you're off the hook, and I won't have any paperwork to fill out.
The elderly gentleman looked at the trooper and said ---
"My wife left me a year ago, and ran off with a Wisconsin state trooper.
I'm sure she saw my name as the lottery winner.
When I saw you behind me with lights flashing, I was sure you were bringing her back.
So I ran!"
The trooper closed his ticket book, chuckled and said "Have a nice weekend!"
