    Just remembered a bad joke I heard in high school.

    A: What’s the state where they grow all the potatoes?

    B: Idaho?

    A: And I da pimp! nearby 14 year olds are all suitably impressed by this clever wordplay

    Note: I was B, and A was a preacher’s kid.

    Similarly:

    Q: Why is it so windy in Kansas?

    A: Because Nebraska blows and Oklahoma sucks!

    Note: I heard this joke a lot during the heydey of the Big 12. Haven’t heard it nearly as much in the last decade or so.

    A Texan farmer and a German farmer meet in a bar. The Texan brags: “When I get on my tractor and ride around the perimeter of my farm, it takes all day.”
    The German replies: “Yeah I also had a piece of shit like that once.”

    What’s the difference between New York and Los Angeles?

    One is a town full of assholes that has an outrageous cost of living, and the other is a town full of assholes that has an outrageous cost of living and has the Yankees. Who suck. Fuck the Yankees

      Lol. My two favorite MLB teams are the one I grew up watching (having lived in many parts of their media market), and whoever is playing the Yankees.

    Did you know that New Mexico got its name before Mexico did?

    It’s not a joke it’s actually just a fun fact.
