Three guys sitting in a bar...

The first guy boasts:
''I used to date this girl from Maine, and she only had 1 eye!''

The second guy replies:
''That's nothing, I dated a girl from New Jersey and she only had 1 arm!''

The third guy smirks and shakes his head:
''You guys don't know the half of it - I once dated this chic from Massachusetts, and she only had 1 kid!''
