Alaska

An Alaskan was on trial in Anchorage. The prosecutor leaned menacingly toward him and asked, 'Where were you on the night of October to April?'

Disclaimer: This is not my joke. And I sure hope that its not a repost from any of the subs. I am sure that there will be numerous variations out there. So just wanted to let you know that I read it on Reader's Digest Issue 1/09, finding it funny, I wanted to share with the jokers here.

I’m not from the US so I’m not entirely sure of the joke here. Is it because from October to April in Alaska it’s just entirely night due to it being Alaska?

Anchorage does not experience 24 hours of darkness at any time during the year, but this is a typical Alaskan joke.

You need to be north of the Arctic Circle to find a period of 24-hour darkness. That is actually what the Arctic Circle denotes.

During December, in Anchorage, the sun rises at about 10 am and sets at about 4 pm, so the days are very short.

No chance, I live in Ketchikan and the sun sets at 3:30. We're still a month from the winter solstice, and Anchorage is significantly further north. Sunrise may be at 10 for them, but sunset would have to be 3ish

In hindsight, I thought it was. But I've removed it now. :)

It would be better if the trial was in Barrow, since there is always at least some daylight in Anchorage.
