The governor from California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks the governor's dog, then bites the governor. The governor starts to intervene, but then reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural.
He calls animal control. Animal control captures the coyote and bills the state $200 for testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the state $200 for testing it for diseases.
The governor goes to the hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and getting his bite wound bandaged.
The running trail gets shut down for six months while the California Fish and Game Department conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals.
The governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a "Coyote Awareness Program" for residents of the area. The Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.
The governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The state spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training, re: the nature of coyotes.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit against the state.
By coincidence, he governor of Texas is also jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and tries to attack him and his dog. The governor shoots the coyote with his state-issued pistol and keeps jogging.
The governor spent 50 cents on a .380-caliber, hollow-point cartridge. Buzzards eat the dead coyote.
And that is why California is broke and Texas is not.

Doesn't matter what size the target is, most male Texan's would have used a .44 Magnum. A wimpy male or a female Texan would use the .357 magnum. :mrgreen:
I carry a .45....cuz they don't make a .46.
Lmao!! I just moved to Texas from Cali so I can say with authority, this sounds more like a news story on KFI 640 AM than a joke. P.S. Taurus Judge for me!
