New Mexico: We won’t let the Rio Grande River flow into Texas anymore
SANTA FE — No water for you. That’s the message the state of New Mexico delivered to Texas in a statement Friday, saying it will no longer allow the Rio Grande River to continue its course into the Lone Star State.
“We were just sitting around, wishing we had something to do when we came up with this idea,” said New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez. “We’ve never liked Texans anyway, so we always think it’s fun to come up with ways to tick them off. They come over here to our ski resorts, flashing their big money and ordering us around. Well, we’ll see how they like this.”
Engineers for the state say they will change the river’s course, diverting it to California instead. Why California?
“They’ve been really good to us, what with them making movies here and all,” Martinez said. “We thought this would be a nice way to say ‘thanks for your business.’”

I have a hunch she was serious too.
We suppose that if New Mexico really wanted to cut water off flowing into Texas, they probably could do so tomorrow. But if they did, they'd be cutting their own throats, there's nut farmers who depend on Rio Grande water for their crops.
