A little humor...

California

The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature
trail. A coyote jumps out, bites the Governor and attacks his dog.

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

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

3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills
the State $200 testing it for diseases.

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

5. The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game
conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is free of dangerous
animals.

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

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

8. The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack
somehow and for letting the Governor attempt to intervene.

9. Additional cost to State of California : $75,000 to hire and train
a new security agent with additional special training re: the nature
of coyotes.

10. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files suit against the
State.

Arizona

The Governor of Arizona is jogging with her dog along a nature trail.
A Coyote jumps out and attacks her dog.

1. The Governor shoots the coyote with her 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's why California is broke.
