A Texan was driving his rental car across the countryside in Israel<br />(years ago when it was more peaceful) and stopped to chat with a man<br />hoeing a field. The Israeli told the Texan that this was his farm, his<br />own land. When the Texan asked how much land he had, the man replied<br />proudly, "Seven acres, all mine."<br /><br />The Texan frowned and said, "Why, back home, I got a ranch so big, I can<br />get up in the mornin', hop in my car, and start drivin' across it, and<br />by sundown not reach the other side."<br /><br />The farmer nodded sympathetically and responded, "I, too, once had a car<br />like that."
