The yogurt and culture joke is old. I heard it first about Los Angeles.
I'm sure this one is old, too, but I like it:
If you only have a year left to live, live it in Windsor. It'll feel
like a lifetime.
Never saw testicles hanging from a tailpipe...and glad of it. It might
be why I moved to Canada...
Ursula,
glorying in the 74 degree breeze...(translated for the listening audience)

That was a riff on Paul Stone's typo, not a comment on his posts,
reviews and critiques which I've always enjoyed. I'm writing this
because the most recent New Yorker's cover has made me sensitive
to the fact that humor is not always self-evident.
High end: Overheard on National Public Radio broadcasting from a
station in Iowa, where a computer programmer on assignment from some
place east of the Hudson was asked about life in Cedar Rapids.
"Well...Do you know the difference between Dannone Yoghurt and Iowa?.....
One has live culture."
Low end: Observed on the streets of Corpus Christi, Texas, large
pick-up trucks with lifelike rubber testicles handing from the tailpipe.
Has this phenomenon been observed elsewhere?
