A Portlander, a Vancouverite and a Rastamon all sat in the maternity ward waiting for their partners to give birth. The midwife comes out and tells them congratulations, they're all fathers of beautiful healthy boys - however, unfortunately, they've run out of the name tags and the babies have been mixed up, so if they could each go in and identify their sons from any family resemblance etc. The Vancouverite wants to go first, so in he goes and comes out with a black baby. The Rasta looks a bit confused, "Excuse me", he said, "but don't you think he's likely to be mine?" "Probably", said the Vancouverite, "but one of these kids is a Portlander, and I don't wanna take my chances."

165 years ago this year, Portland was incorporated as a city.

The city had no money.
The city had no electricity.
The city had no functioning sewer system.
There were no paved roads.
Nobody spoke English.
Everybody was drunk.
There were gunfights in the streets.
Whores were cheap and plentiful.

So basically it was the same as it is today, except the women didn't grow beards and the men didn't sex each other in public.

The Portland Driver's Guide:

Jack up your car by installing tires that are big enough to drive over a six-story building.

When you are well aware that your car might break down, drive on bridges and I-5 during peak rush hour traffic.

If your car breaks down while driving, do not attempt to move to the shoulder. Stay in the middle of the road.

If it is necessary to change your tire on a road shoulder, lie the flat tire in the middle of the road and make traffic drive around it.

If your muffler system breaks, keep it broken as long as possible or replace it with a tomato can. If you have a motorbike, drive through residential areas between 12:30 and 4 AM as much as you can and rev the engine frequently.

If your car leaks oil, and you visit friends or relatives, park in their driveway.

Never replace worn tires and drive fast on wet and slippery roads.

If you notice smoke coming from your exhaust pipe, allow your car to roll back at the next red light to share some of it with the driver/bike rider behind you.

Tint your windows pitch black so that nobody can see you, where you're looking, or what's happening in front of you. If a window gets broken, replace it as soon as possible with a black plastic garbage bag duct taped to the door frame.

Only have your oil checked and windows washed when you pull into a busy and under-staffed gas station.

Do not, under any circumstance, replace burned out brake, signal, and head lights.

When replacing a burned out low-beam headlamp, always use a high-beam bulb.

Try to aim the lights higher than legal limit.

If your car's safety fails the annual state inspection, bring it to a private inspection station and slip the mechanic $20 to pass you.

If any safety parts on your car need replacing (such as burned out headlights or worn tires) wait months until inspection time to get them repaired.

If the plastic tail light cover breaks, fix it with red duct tape. If the turn signal cover breaks, fix it with yellow duct tape.

If the bumper or exhaust system starts to fall off, unbend an old wire hanger and use it to loosely hook it back up. Better yet, just let it drag on the road.

If the radio antenna breaks, unbend a wire hanger and shove it into the antenna opening.

Adjust your windshield squirters so that they squirt over the windshield, above the car, and onto the vehicles in front of and behind you.

An old pill bottle is the perfect substitute for a missing gas cap.

When disabled in the road, leave your car door wide open, then step into oncoming traffic as you walk around the door to re-enter your car.

When you bring your car in for servicing and the mechanic asks what kind of car you have, tell him you have a blue one.

Two Seattle boys are playing soccer in a park when one of them is attacked by
a stray dog. Thinking quickly, his friend rips a plank of wood from a fence,
forces it into the dog's collar and twists it, breaking the dog's neck. All the
while, a newspaperman who was taking a stroll through the park is watching. He
rushes over, introduces himself and takes out his pad and pencil to start his
story for the next edition.
He writes, "Sounders fan saves friend from vicious dog".
The boy interrupts: "But I'm not a Sounders fan".
The reporter starts again: "Reign fan saves friend from horrific attack".
The boy interrupts again: "I'm not a Reign fan either".
The reporter asks: "Who do you support, then?"
"The Timbers", replies the boy.
The next day's headline: "Portland bastard murders beloved family pet".
