where the men were men and the sheep were nervous.
That was a common refrain when I went to school in Montana. The usual conversation went something like this: Montana, where men are men and sheep are nervous. Yeah, well why is it so windy in north dakota? Because minnesota blows and montana sucks.
(in montana, they tell north dakotan jokes, while in north dakota, they were Norwegian jokes, and in your neighborhood, probably Polish jokes) I like montana so it wasn't often me telling the jokes.
