Three hunters, a Texan, a Californian and an Coloradoan, 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 Coloradoan stands up. He pulls out a Coors, twists off the cap and guzzles the entire beer. 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 stands in shock. The Coloradoan 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.
