"Secede from the union" joke

Postby Caretaker » Tue Jun 07, 2005 2:47 pm

Can anyone recall a very funny joke which included the phrase "Secede from the union" and which aired on the radio program??

I can't seem to remember the joke itself...

Thanks!

Is it perhaps the one where Don is giving up starchy foods like potatoes?

Jack says: "Don, if you give up potatoes, Idaho will secede from the union."

If that's the one, it's Jan 4th, 1948.

Oh, and they also had a similar script from the Jan 3rd, 1954 show with the same joke!
