In the 1800's there was some question as to which state Staten Island
should be part of.
NJ and NY agreed to settle the matter by having a sailboat race around
the island.
New York says it now has Staten Island because they won the race.
New Jersey says New York now has Staten Island because New Jersey won
the race.

They must have come home from this poker night at the bar:
I got home very late last night from a poker evening with my mates.
The wife was of course waiting up, ready to moan as usual.
"Stop!" I said. "Don't even bother getting pissed off. Pack your bags.
I lost you in the poker game. You're moving in with Bob."
"How could you do such a terrible thing?" she whined.
"Wasn't easy," I said. "You don't normally fold with four aces."
