California:
The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature
trail.
A coyote jumps out &attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the
Governor.
1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie
"Bambi" &then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only
doing what is natural.
2. He calls animal control. Animal Control captures the coyote
&bills the State $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating
it.
3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog &
bills the State $200 testing it for diseases.
4. The Governor goes to hospital &spends $3,500 getting checked
for diseases from the coyote &on getting his bite wound bandaged.
5. The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish &Game
conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of
dangerous animals.
6. The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a
"coyote awareness program" for residents of the area.
7. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better
treat rabies &how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the
world.
8. The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the
attack. The State spends $150,000 to hire &train a new agent with
additional special training re: the nature of coyotes.
9. PETA protests the coyote's relocation &files a $5 million suit
against the State.
Montana:
The Governor of Montana is jogging with his dog along a nature
trail. A Coyote jumps out and attacks his dog.
1. The Governor shoots the coyote with his State-issued S&W 380 Bodygard pistol &
keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .380 hollow point
cartridge.
2. The Buzzards eat the dead coyote.
And that, my friends, is why California is broke & Montana is not.
