When I was living in the Philippines I knew a Texan. He'd been living there for years, and was tragically killed. They were to ship him back to Texas for burial, but, unfortunately, no casket could be found that was big enough to ship the Texan in. There wasn't time to build a new one, as the only cargo ship from Mindanao to Texas was to leave within two hours, and there wouldn't be another one for a month. The undertaker finally just pricked him with a straight pin, and let all the hot air out, and they shipped him home in a matchbox.

That'll convert nicely to a Yorkshireman joke.

Nah. No Tyke would run to the expense of a casket.

"A Little Texas Humor"? Is that an admission that there's actually something in Texas that isn't big?

Ever hear of the Great Wall society? They want to build a 20 foot high wall completely around the state of Texas...complete with barbed wire, rifle towers, attack dogs, and minefields.

Most of the major contributors live in Oklahoma.

(Maybe I'll through a few $$ their way, too).

Is that to keep those who are in in or those who are out out??
