A man was on a business trip to the great state of Texas.
Upon arriving at the airport, he happened to walk by one
of the tallest men he'd ever seen. When he remarked about
this to his taxi driver, the driver responded "Yessir,
everything's big in Texas!"
Later that day, after settling into his hotel room, the
man went down to the bar for dinner. The bartender asked
if he'd like to start off with a beverage. "I'll have a
beer," said the man, and the bartender nodded. Half a
minute later, the bartender returned carrying a huge
5-gallon beer mug, filled to the brim, and plunked it down
in front of the astonished business man.
The bartender replied, "Well-sir, you ordered a beer and
that's just what I brought. I guess somebody shoulda
warned ya' that everything's big in Texas!"
Well the man ordered the steak for dinner, and when it
came, he received yet another shock. The steak was
gargantuan -- a 64 oz. T-bone! When the bartender saw the
shocked and somewhat frightened look on the man's face, he
simply shrugged and said "Everything's big in Texas!"
Finally the man had consumed as much of the beer and steak
as he could, and asked the bartender to direct him to the
nearest restroom. The bartender said "Down the hall and
to the right," but since the man had just drank a gallon
or two of beer, he was a bit tipsy and accidentally went
down the hall and to the LEFT, where the hotel's swimming
pool was located. A moment later the bartender heard a
bunch of splashing and hollering so he came running to see
what was the matter. Sure enough the man had fallen right
into the pool and was thrashing and hollering as if the
water were battery acid. Mystified, the bartender yelled
"You alright mister? You need help?"
