old georgia joke:
when georgia was a colony,
it began at the atlantic ocean and stretched all the way to the mississipi river (true)
after the revolution the federal government created two more states from the lands of georgia (true)
first they created mississippi,
and then they created alabama
to serve as a buffer zone
for all the shit the tornadoes threw out of mississippi (not true)
my alabama friends are not particularly fond of that joke
