For our dear Minnesota friends:
Got this from a friend of mine who used to live in Minnesota....

(note to Soddies: feel free to retaliate, it's all in good fun)

Lena's car breaks down on the Highway 8 just outside of Lindstrom one day. So she eases it over onto the shoulder of the road.

She carefully steps out of the car and opens the trunk.Out of the trunk jump two men; Lars and Sven in trench coats who stand at the rear of the vehicle where they are facing oncoming traffic and begin opening their coats, exposing their nude bodies to approaching drivers.

It's not very long before a police car shows up.

The cop, clearly enraged,runs toward Lena's vehicle yelling, "What the hell is going on here?"

"Ya, vell my car broke down," says Lena, calmly.

"Well, what are these perverts doing here by the road?" asks the cop.

And she said "Vell officer, dose are my emergency flashers!"

1. Here's a good one
As I'm driving to Green Bay from Mpls on Friday, I won't speak badly of WI... so I'll pick on Illinois

A Smart Move

Four guys are driving cross-country together. One is from Idaho, one from Iowa, one from Illinois and one from Wisconsin.

A bit down the road, the man from Idaho starts to pull potatoes from his bag and throws them out the window. The man from Iowa turns to him and asks, "What the hell are you doing?"

The man from Idaho says, "Man, we have so many of these damned things in Idaho, they're laying around on the ground - I'm sick of looking at them!"

A few miles further down the road, the man from Iowa begins pulling ears of corn from his bag and throwing them out the window. The man from Wisconsin asks "What are you doing that for?" The man from Iowa replies, "Man, we have so many of these damned things in Iowa, I'm sick of looking at them!"

Inspired by the others, the man from Wisconsin opens the car door and pushes out the man from Illinois.
