Another How Hot in Texas Is It?
Is it still real hot in Texas?
Well, just listen and let me tell.
If you were to die tonight,
And in the morning wake up in hell.
You’d noticed a change in the temperature,
This truth is so true you can “bank it.”
You’d might find it so cool there,
That you’d probably need a blanket!

Why Not Become an Author?
I have an inherent fondness for brevity,
Particularly when it comes to an oration.
Thus, a prolix and protracted speech,
I consider it to be an oratorical abomination.
My advice is thus very simple,
And something a speaker should not overlook.
If you cannot say it in twenty minutes,
Then I suggest you write a book!

God was missing for six days. Eventually,
Michael, the archangel,
found him resting on the seventh day.
He inquired,
“Where have you been?”
God smiled deeply and proudly pointed
downwards through the clouds,
“Look, Michael. Look what I’ve made.”
Archangel Michael looked puzzled,
and said, “What is it?” “It’s a planet,
” replied God, and I’ve put life on it..
I’m going to call it Earth and it’s going
to be a place to test Balance.”
“Balance?” inquired Michael, “I’m still confused.”
God explained,
pointing to different parts of earth.
“For example, northern Europe will be a place of
great opportunity and wealth,
while southern Europe is going to be poor.
Over here I’ve placed a continent of white people,
and over there is a continent of black people.
Balance in all things.”
God continued pointing to different countries.
“This one will be extremely hot,
while this one will be very cold and covered in ice.”
The Archangel, impressed by God’s work,
pointed to a land area & said, “What’s that?”
“That’s the State of Texas ,
“That’s the State of Texas ,
the most glorious place on earth.
There are beautiful rivers,mountains, streams,
lakes, forests, hills, beaches and plains.
“The people from the State of Texas are going to
be handsome, modest, intelligent, humorous, and
they are going to travel the world.
They will be extremely sociable, hardworking,
high achieving, carriers of peace,
and producers of good things.”
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration,
but then asked,
“But what about balance, God?
You said there would be balance.”
God smiled,
“There’s Washington DC.
Wait till you see the idiots I put there.”
Old Warthog sent this last one to me. Wish I could claim it was original, but credit goes to the original creator, whomever it was.

As an ex-Texan, if there could ever be one, I would like your “Tawk Texan”, but can’t find a place to click on and order it. I need it because I’m losing my drawl from living here in Virginia.
