A Texan, a guy from Illinois, and a Wisconsinite are riding horses out on the range. The Texan, just to show off, pulls an expensive bottle of whiskey out of his saddlebag, takes a couple drinks, throws the bottle in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots it in mid-air. The guy from Illinois is shocked and asks, "What are you doing? That's a perfectly good bottle of whiskey!"
The Texan replies, "In Texas, there's plenty of whiskey and bottles are cheap!" A little while later, not wanting to be outdone, the guy from Illinois pulls out a bottle of champagne, takes a few sips, throws the bottle into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots it, just like the Texan. The guy from Wisconsin can't believe it. "What are you doing? That was a very expensive bottle of champagne. With a wink to the Texan he says, "In Chicago, there's plenty of champagne and bottles are cheap."
About 15 minutes later, the Wisconsinite pulls out a bottle of beer. He opens it and takes a sip. Then another sip. Then he chugs the rest of the bottle. He then places the bottle back in his saddlebag, pulls out his gun and shoots the guy from Illinois. The Texan is visibly shaken. "What did you do that for?"
The Wisconsinite replies, "Well, in Wisconsin, we have plenty of people from Illinois, and you get cash back on bottles."
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
