I spent a nice hour on top of a hill in the middle of Bodmin Moor with some friends last week making up jokes with countries/states/cities as the punchline.

There were some rather good ones, and I'm interested to see what the more creative minds of Chrons members can come up with! Extra points for longer jokes that tell a story.

---

A few examples of what we came up with:

What did they say when the first country rose from the sea?
S'got land! (Scotland)

What's the most important state in America?
Oh, you know, it's that, erm, Maine one.

What do sheep say when the weather is bad?
Baaa! Rain. (Bahrain)

(You don't expect me to stick with the English versions of country names, do you?

)

Just to get it out of the way relatively early

No, she went by train.
