Minnesotans
How do Minnesotans decide where to retire?
They tie a snowshovel to the back of their RV, drive south, and when people start asking "What's that thing?" they know they've gone far enough!

Canada-US Border Dispute
For generations, a woman's family lived on a farm in Manitoba on the border with North Dakota in an area that was in dispute between Canada and the U.S. One day her grown kids came in and told her that the dispute had been settled, the international boundary line ran right through their farm, and the family could choose whether to be Canadians or Americans.
After some thought, the woman declared that they should become Americans. Her reason was that she couldn't stand another Canadian winter!
