Mightn't that be a little prejudiced? As long as we're being cliched, how about this?

California vs. Texas
Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A
coyote jumps out and attacks dog.
California :
#1. Governor starts to intervene, reflects upon the movie "Bambi"
and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is
natural.
#2. He calls animal control. Animal control captures coyote and
spends $200 testing it for diseases and $500 upon relocating it.
#3. He calls veterinarian. Vet collects dead dog and spends $200
testing it for diseases.
#4.. Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for
diseases from the coyote and on getting bite wound bandaged.
#5. Running trail gets shut down for 6 months while wildlife
services conduct a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is clear
of dangerous animals.
#6. Governor spends $50,000 of state funds implementing a "coyote
awareness" program for residents of the area.
#7. State legislature spends $2 million investigating how to better
handle rabies and how to possibly eradicate the disease.
#8. Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack
and for letting the Governor intervene.
#9. Cost: $75,000 to train new security agent.
#10. PETA protests the coyote relocation and files suit against the
state.
Texas :
#1. Governor shoots coyote and keeps jogging.
#2. Governor sees another coyote and whips out his gun, emptying the chamber, then realizes it's his own dog.
#3 Governor goes home and goes to bed, after holding his wife at gunpoint because she came in through the backdoor and he thought she was an intruder.
#4 -- Governor watches Flags of Our Fathers and supports our troops, because those Eye-rakis need 'em some killin'
#5 -- Governor alienates his daughter by giving her prom date a wild, bloodshot stare and vaguely threatening him with bodily injury
#6 -- Governor's daughter's boyfriend dumps her
#7 -- Governor's daughter runs away with tattooed thug
#8 -- Governor loses job, sits on couch drinking beer and getting fat
#9 -- Ex-governor tells wife to shut up and bring him a sandwich, repeats this for forty years
The end
