Just -- don't blame me if you don't understand the jokes ;)
Oh and we also have cornered the market on science fiction writers.
Ponder that and tremble. That and the fact that the governor mentioned
below was a *Republican.*

How you know you're from New Mexico
-Going to Wal-mart is a favorite past-time known as "goin
Wal-Martin" or "off to Wally-world."
-You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chili weather.
-A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop....It's a coke
regardless of brand or flavor.
-Cuss, curse... who gives a ___ what you call it? We say words you
won't even understand!
-505 is the area code for our entire state, who else can represent
their whole state with one number?
-We have green chili, and we're the ONLY state that does.
-Snow days? We get days off for gang shootings, DUI accidents,
high school hit lists, meth lab busts, bomb threats, homicides, drug
deals.... and for the occasional "winter storm" too. Beat that.
-The only "beach" we go to is The Beach waterpark, Tingley,
Conchas, or the Butte and they all kick butt!
-If you say "city" you are not referring to anywhere in New Mexico.
-The legal drinking age is 21, but everyone starts at 14.
-Our governor wanted to legalize marijuana, so don't even say
yours is cooler.
-I get looked at funny when I'm on vacation because most fools
from the US don't even realize that New Mexico is in the USA...
-All the moviestars might film in Cali, but they come HERE to
live. Val Kilmer, Gene Hackman, Freddie Prince Jr., Julia Roberts,
Randy Travis... and list goes on, all livin' in New Mexico.
-Los Alamos has the highest per capita income in the United
States. Sunland Park has the lowest
-Albuquerque celebrated its Tri-Centennial...we're older than the US of A.
-Atomic bomb...enough said!
-We got Stealths, so you better watch your back or they might be
coming for you next.
If New Mexico were to Secede from the Union we would be third
largest nuclear power in the world . . . there's nothing you can say
New Mexicans understand these jokes. I f you do too, forward them
to your friends from New Mexico

The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there
are to laugh at it.
