A Texan farmer and a German farmer meet in a bar. The Texan brags: "When I get on my tractor and ride around the perimeter of my farm, it takes all day."
The German replies: "Yeah I also had a piece of shit like that once."

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!

What's the difference between New York and Los Angeles?

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

Lol. My two favorite MLB teams are the one I grew up watching (having lived in many parts of their media market), and whoever is playing the Yankees.
