A lady i worked with said that, while travelling, she met a Texan who remarked on the large size of Texas.

He asked her where she came from.

Queensland, she said.

That a big place? he asked.

About three times the size of Texas, she told him.

Well, he said, that must be the only state anywhere except Alaska that’s bigger ‘n Texas, he declared.

There’s Western Australia, she said.

How big is that?, he asked.

About five times the size of Texas, she informed him.

He seemed to run out of conversation at that point.
