************************* Pursue Happiness **************************
Three hunters, a Texan, a Californian and an Oregonian, are
gathered around a campfire. The three have been drinking and
bragging about the virtues of their home states.
Suddenly, the Texan says, "Watch this." He opens a bottle of
tequila, takes a swig, tosses it in the air, pulls out a
pearl-handled revolver and shoots the bottle cleanly in two. "It's
a shame to waste that good liquor," the Californian says. "It's
OK," the Texan replies. "Where I come from, we've got plenty of
that."
Not to be outdone, the Californian pulls out a bottle of white
zinfandel. He pulls off the cork, takes a drink, throws the bottle
in the air, whips out an assault rifle and blasts the bottle,
sending shards of glass everywhere. "Shame to waste good wine,"
the Texan says. "It's OK," the Californian says. "We've got plenty
in my state."
At this point, the Oregonian stands up. He pulls out a bottle of
beer, twists off the cap and guzzles the entire thing. He throws
the bottle high in the air, pulls out a shotgun, empties both
barrels into the Californian and neatly catches the bottle. The
Texan stares in shock. The Oregonian calmly puts the gun down.
"It's OK," he says, "We've got plenty of them in my state.
Besides, this bottle is worth a nickel.
