One is a town full of assholes that has an outrageous cost of living, and the other is a town full of assholes that has an outrageous cost of living and has the Yankees. Who suck. Fuck the Yankees

Just remembered a bad joke I heard in high school.

A: What’s the state where they grow all the potatoes?

B: Idaho?

A: And I da pimp! nearby 14 year olds are all suitably impressed by this clever wordplay

Note: I was B, and A was a preacher’s kid.

Similarly:

Q: Why is it so windy in Kansas?

A: Because Nebraska blows and Oklahoma sucks!

Note: I heard this joke a lot during the heydey of the Big 12. Haven’t heard it nearly as much in the last decade or so.
