California Vs Arizona

Subject: California vs Arizona

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; 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.  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.
State spends  $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional
special training re: the nature of coyotes.

9. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million 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.
