As Big As Texas
A Texan went to Chicago and thought he would buy a new “city” outfit. He went into Marshall Fields and when asked by a sweet young woman if she could help him, answered, “Yes ma’am, ya see, I’m from Texas and I want to buy a complete outfit.”
Well, her eyes lit up as she asked, “Where would you like to start?”
“Well ma’am. How about a suit?”
“Yes sir, what size?”
“Size 53 … tall, ma’am.”
“Wow, that’s really big.”
“Yes ma’am, they really grow them big in Texas.”
“What’s next?” she asked.
He replied, “How about some shoes.”
“What size?”
“Size 15 … double D.”
“Wow, that’s really big!”
“Yes ma’am, they really grow them big in Texas.”
“What’s next?”
“Well, I reckon I’ll need a shirt.”
“Yes sir, what size?”
“Nineteen and a half … 38,” he replied.
“Wow, that’s really big!”
“Yes ma’am, they really grow them big in Texas.”
She virtually glowed as she asked, “Whew … is there anything else I can do for you?”
“No ma’am , I reckon that will be all.”
Well she tallied up his bill while the Texan was counting out his money. She asked, “Sir could I ask you a question?”
“Yes ma’am, I already know what it is and the answer is four inches.”
She is astonished and blurts out, “Why, my boyfriend is bigger than that!”
Without so much as a stutter, the Texan replied, “Across, ma’am?”
