The Coyote

Some of you may have seen this already but I read it for the first time today at a customer's shop and had to share it

CALIFORNIA :

The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail.

A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the Governor.

1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and
then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is
natural.

2. He calls animal control . Animal Control captures the coyote and bills
the State $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.

3. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for
diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.

4. 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.

5. The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a "coyote
awareness program" for residents of the area.

6. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat
rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.

7. The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping theattack. The
State spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special
training re: the nature of coyotes.

8. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit against
the State.


IDAHO :

The Governor of Idaho 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 pistol and keeps
jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge.

*2. The Buzzards eat the dead coyote.

*And that, my friends, is why California is broke and Idaho is not.

Did anyone catch the primary b.s. here? The Governor never intervened, so how could he have even gotten bitten in the first place?

Oh wait, that's just too smart for any citizen to catch, crap, now they'll be watching me from a little silver 4 door car across the street?
