In the light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear conflicts, the Montana Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, hunters and fisherman to take extra precations and stay alert for bears while in the field. We advise outdoorsmen & outdoorwomen to wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle the bears who aren't expecting them. We also advise them to carry pepper spray with them in case of bear encouter.
Outdoorsmen & women should learn to recognize the difference between black bear stool and grizzly stool. Black bear stool is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzle bear stool has

Went to New Orleans for the first time over Labor Day Weekend with my then boyfriend (from Alabama, very straight, good 'ol boy type).
Turned out to be what's called "southern decadence" there, which is like a gay Mardi Gras. At least that's how it was explained to us by the grand master of the festivities, who was wearing black leather chaps and a thong!
My boyfriend got hit on all weekend. That was NOT what he had in mind by taking me to NO.
Not a funny story like utahtea, but relevant to your destination!

"I'm addicted to placebos.
I'd quit but it wouldn't matter".
For oft asked travel questions:
Q: You know what time it is?
A: No. I'm not from around here.
Q: You know where the train station is?
A: Right by the tracks.
Q: How you getting to the airport?
A: I know I'm flying to one.

This story was actually in the newspaper of my hometown under 'Police Blotter' section. The incident occurred on Valentine's Day...
INJURY TO A CHILD
• 2000 block of Avenue T
A girl was injured outside a school Friday afternoon after she was hit in the head with three cupcakes.
The girl was walking outside Dupree Elementary School near the cafeteria when she chanced upon three people throwing cupcakes at each other.
One of the cupcake flingers pushed her down and hit her on the right side of the head with a purple cupcake.
The others then hit her in the head with a green cupcake and a red cupcake.
The girl said her head hurt from the impact of the pastries.
The girl's brother told police he was working as the safety patrol and observed the assault.
The investigating officer found the remains of cupcake icing on the girl's head and face.

John,
I don't live in Utah....I just love to vacation there. I live in California and a co-worker of my DH gave the joke to us a few years ago after we came back from the Canadian Rockies and we had purchased bear pepper spray.
I've been a tourist in Montana many times. DH and I have been "tourist" for 30 years and we've traveled almost all over the U.S.

What's your inquiry? What's your point? You're gonna have to go find your own "laughs". Actually, if you "used to like to party pretty hard" but now you're "mellowed", skip Bourbon Street. There's actually nothing all that interesting or "funny" there.
