A Texan is visiting Israel and feeling thirsty, he stops at a house along the road. “Can you give me a drink?” asks the Texan
“Of course,” says the Israeli, and he invited the Texan to come in.
“What do you do?” asks the Texan.
“I raise chicken” says the Israeli.
“Really?” says the Texan. “I’m also a farmer. How much land do you have?”
“Well, out front it’s 50 meters, as you can see, and in the back we have close to 100 meters of property. What about your place?”
“Well,” says the Texan, “on my ranch, I have breakfast and get into the car, and I drive and drive and I don’t reach the end of the ranch until dinnertime.”
“Really,” replies the Israeli. “I once had a car like that too.”
I should have been specific, “people from small, western European countries” as they are the only people I have heard talk about the size of the US.
