Officials of the great state of Florida expressed concern today after the FBI indicated their focus on the origin of pipe bombs mailed to leading Democratic figures had turned to the Sunshine State.

“This is such a tragedy, gives our carefully nurtured reputation as the most rational, normal state in the union.”

They lamented the fact that the crazed individual involved couldn’t have come from a more appropriate state.

“Like Delaware or Colorado, for example.”

But what hurts the most, they say, is the fact that it makes erroneously it sound like Florida is it a natural home for ‘out-there’ people, or that it contributes to political chaos.

“We just a peaceful state with alligators, and occasionally people, who eat people.”
