Network TV is reported to be developing a Texas version of “Survivor,” the popular TV show.
Contestants must travel from Amarillo through Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and back to Amarillo, through San Marcos and Lubbock.
Each will be driving a Volvo with a bumper sticker that reads: “I voted for Kerry, I’m gay, and I’m here to take your guns.”
The first contestant to complete the round trip is the winner.
A Texan walks into a pub in Ireland and clears his voice to the crowd of drinkers. He says, “I hear you Irish are a bunch of hard drinkers. I’ll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back-to-back.”
The room is quiet and no one takes up the Texans offer. One man even leaves. Thirty minutes later the same gentleman who left shows back up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. “Is your bet still good?” asks the Irishman.
The Texan says yes and asks the bartender to line up 10 pints of Guinness. Immediately the Irishman tears into all 10 of the pint glasses drinking them all back-to-back.
The other pub patrons cheer as the Texan sits in amazement. The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and says, “If ya don’t mind me askin’, where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?”
The Irishman replies, “Oh … I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first.”
I recently had a visitor from the state of Texas. For three days all I heard from him was “In Texas we have the best this, the largest that, the fastest that,” etc. It eventually became very annoying.
Being from Niagra Falls, I thought I could outdo him by showing him the “MIGHTY NIAGARA”, knowing there was nothing in Texas that could compare to this “Wonder of Water & Power”.
While standing at the brink watching millions of gallons of water rushing over, I noticed the look of awe in his eyes. It was then I asked him: “Do you have anything like this in Texas?”
He waited a moment before he answered: “No, but we have a plumber that could fix it.”
