About 50% my own writing, 50% from another local joke site. More will be added to my original post as I think them up.

(possibly offensive to Californians)

There was a Texan, a Californian, and a Washingtonian camping in
the woods.

By the campfire after dark the Texan opened up a bottle of Yukon
Jack, took a swig, thru the bottle in the air, pulled out a double
barrel shot gun, and blew the bottle to pieces.

The Washingtonian looked at him and said, "Why didn't you finish
it?"

The Texan replied, "It's okay, we've got plenty of Yukon Jack where
I come from."

The Californian then pulled out a bottle of Cabernet, took a sip,
then thru the rest in the air, pulled out a 38 special, and shot
the bottle.

He then looked around and said, "That's okay, we've got plenty more
in California."

The Washingtonian then pulled out a bottle of Micro-Brewery Ale,
drank it all down, tossed the empty bottle in air, pulled out a
pistol, shot the Californian, and caught the bottle.

He then looked over at the Texan and said, "It's okay, we've got
plenty of Californians in Washington, but I have to recycle the
bottle."
