Australia vs Texas – Who Has the Biggest Things?
Let’s set the scene with a joke: A Texan walks into a country pub. There, he meets an Australian farmer, and they strike up a conversation. The farmer invites the Texan to his farm for lunch the next day. The Aussie shows off, pointing to his big wheat field to the Texan. The Texan says, “Oh! We have wheat fields that are at least twice as large." They walk around the ranch a little, and the Aussie shows off his herd of cattle. The Texan immediately says, "We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cows." The conversation slows down as the Texan sees a herd of kangaroos hopping in the field. He asked, “And what are those?" The Aussie replies with an incredulous look. “Don’t you have any grasshoppers in Texas?”
