What are the stereotypes / characteristics for people from Minnesota and Florida?

Question

I read a joke about a man from Minnesota and a man from Florida.

The joke was funny in itself, but being British, I didn't know if there was any significance in the two states, that made the joke more amusing.

A guy from Minnesota moves to Florida and goes to a big department store looking for a job.
The boss hired him. "Start tomorrow. After we close, I’ll see how you did."
After the store closed, the boss asked.
"How many customers did you serve today?
The kid says "One".
The boss says "Just one? How much was the sale for?"
"$101,237.65".
"$101,237.65? What did you sell him?"
The kid says, "First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then a medium hook. Then a large hook. Then a new rod. I asked him where he was going fishing and he said on the coast, so I said he needed a boat, we went to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. He didn't think his Civic would pull it, so we went to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Expedition."
The boss said "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK? Is that right?"
The kid answered,
"No, he came in here for his wife’s Tampons, and I said,
'Dude, your weekend's shot;
You should go

Fishing

Answer 1

florida are the old people who cannot vote properly.

Answer 2

Florida is in the south; actually it is the southern-most state in the US. Therefore, the temperatures there can get miserably high, especally during the summer. Minnesota is one of the northern-most states, which means temperatures here can get pretty damn cold, especially during the winter. Florida is surrounded by water on three sides, while Minnesota has over 11,840 lakes. Lots of water. Other than the extreme differences in temperature and all that water (and yes, a lot of Minnesotans have accents; they overly pronounce "o" and "r"), I don't think there's anything significant about them.

Answer 3
