How Dry Is It In Texas?

This just arrived from my friend Zita.  It seems seasonally relevant and factual enough to pass along. Smile!
...


A buddy out of Longview said he'd killed a mosquito that was carrying a canteen.

A man in Dime Box said the chicken farmers were giving the chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.

In Lake Palestine , they caught a 20 lb catfish that had ticks on it!

But just this week, in Bryan, a fire hydrant was seen bribing a dog.

It's so dry in Texas that the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling,
the Methodists are using wet-wipes, the Presbyterians are giving out rain-checks,
and the Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water.


PRAY FOR RAIN

  1. This is almost too close to home, but the baptism changes made me giggle.
    Thanks for the promo for my blog. I will have to write about my new blue tongued skinks soon.

  2. Don't you hate it when people forward stuff that is funnier than you can write? I certainly do. BR

  4. In El Paso, you feel like a vampire. Your skin feels the contact of the sun's rays and you believe you will burst out in flames.
