BIGGER 'N BETTER IN TEXAS
A Texan was taking a taxi tour of London, and was in a hurry.
As they went by the Tower of London the cabbie explained
what it was and that construction started in 1346 and it was
completed in 1412.
The Texan replied, "Shoot, a little ol' tower like that? In
Houston we'd have that thing up in two weeks!"
House of Parliament next - Started construction in 1544,
completed 1618.
Hell boy, we put up a bigger one than that in Dallas and it
only took a year!"
As they passed Westminister Abbey the cabby was silent.
"Whoah! What's that over there?"
I don't know, It wasn't there yesterday..."
