Agreed. As a Minnesotan, I've long known that Minnesota Nice really means "non-confrontational, overly-cautious, and passive-aggressive".

Oh, but hey, sometimes we just let 'er rip. There is nothing more stinging than hearing one of us pause, then say, "Well, THAT'S different."

The Minnesotan and Wisconsinite were walking by the lake one day, and found a bottle on the beach. Rubbing the sand off, a cloud of smoke poured billowed forth and poof!- out came the genie.

"There are two of you, so I can only grant each one wish," he announced. "Now, what will it be?"

The Minnesotan spoke up. "I want you to put a wall around my state to keep out dat bunch over dere!" he said, shaking his fist at Wisconsin. And poof!- a giant wall appeared, all around Minnesota.

"Now you," the genie said, "What is your wish?" to the other.

The Wisconsinite began pulling at his beard. "Ay dunno...," he mumbled, dismayed. Suddenly, he brightened. "Ooo, ay know! Now...fill it wit water!!"

Lol!

I only know anti-Iowa jokes, for some reason. Probably from being married to a Minnesotan.

Q: What keeps Minnesota from sliding into Lake Superior?

A: Because Iowa sucks.
