Zombie Apocalypse

A new scientific study has been published, rating the preparedness of each state and the nation’s capital to survive a Zombie Apocalypse.

Alaska came in first, which should come as no surprise. Weather did not enter the study, now that Alaska is sharing the Polar Express with the northern Lower 48.
New Jersey was dead last, with Mississippi and Washington DC just ahead on the food chain.

Alaska’s Zombie Survival Profile:

1st—ALASKA

In a state where residents run from bears and moose, they will not be scared of slow-moving corpses. Alaska is packed with military personnel and veterans, and they’re only a fraction of the well-armed Alaskans prepared to shoot zombies from a moving snowmobile.

20 Copies?

By icefogger

“One taxpayer decided to write off the entire cost of his $50,000, multi-year globetrotting extravaganza, which included trips to Italy, France and Greece. And it worked, all because he wrote a book about his travels.

His tax preparer Jerry Lewin, managing director of accounting firm CBIZ MHM, said that because the book was actually published — even if it was by an obscure, low-budget publishing house — and because he made a small profit from it — only 20 books were sold — it counted as a business expense.”
