Ever wonder how hot and dry it gets in Texas????

*  It's so hot in Texas, the birds have to use pot holders to pull worms
   out of the ground.
*  It's so hot in Texas, the potatoes cook underground and all you have
   to do to have lunch is to pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.
*  It's so dry in Texas, the cows give evaporated milk.
*  It's so dry in Texas, the trees are whistlin' for the dogs.
*  It's so hot that the farmers are feeding the chickens crushed ice to
   keep them from laying hard boiled eggs.
*  A sad Texan once prayed, "I wish it would rain - not so much for me,
   I've seen it - but for my 7-year-old."
*  It is so hot and dry in Texas that the Baptists have taken to
   sprinkling instead of baptizing and the Methodists are just wiping 'em
   down with a damp cloth.
*  A visitor to Texas once asked, "Does it ever rain out here?"  A
   rancher quickly answered "Yes it does.  Do you remember that part in the
   Bible where it rained for 40 days and 40 nights?"  "Yes, I'm familiar
   with Noah's flood," the visitor replied.  "Well," the rancher puffed
   up, "we got about two and a half inches during that spell."
