Feelin' Funny
A Texas farmer goes to Australia for a vacation. There he meets an Aussie farmer, who shows off his big wheat field.
The Texan says, "Oh, we have wheat fields that are at least twice as large."
Then they walk around the ranch a little and the Aussie shows off his herd of cattle. The Texan says, "We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cows."
The conversation has almost died by now, but the Texan sees a herd of kangaroos hopping through the field. He asks, "And what are those?"
The Aussie asks with an incredulous look, "Don't you have any grasshoppers in Texas?"
