| A Texan went to Chicago and thought he would buy a new "city" outfit. He went into Marshall Fields and, when asked by a sweet young woman if she could help him, he answered, "Yes ma`am. Ya see, I`m from Texas and I want to buy a complete city outfit." Her eyes lit up as she asked, "Where would you like to start?" "Well, ma`am, how about a suit?" "Yes sir. What size?" "Size 53 tall, ma`am." "Wow, that`s really big." "Yes ma`am, they really grow them big in Texas." "What`s next?" she asked. He replied, "How about some shoes?" "What size?" "Size 15 double E." "Wow, that`s really big!" "Yes ma`am. They really grow them big in Texas." "What`s next?" "Well, I reckon I`ll need a shirt." "Yes sir. What size?" "Nineteen and a half neck, size 38," he replied. "Wow, that`s really big!" "Yes ma`am. They really grow them big in Texas." "Will there be anything else?" she asked. "Yes ma`am. I spect I`ll need a hat." "Yes sir. What size?" "Eight and five-eighths." "Wow, that`s really big!" "Yes ma`am. They really grow them big in Texas." She virtually glowed as she asked, "Is there anything else I can do for you?" "No ma`am , I reckon that will be all." As the sweet young thing tallied up his bill, and as the Texan counted out his money, she blushed and asked, "Sir, could I ask you a question?" "Yes ma`am, I already know what it is. And the answer is four inches." Astonished, she blurted out, "Why, my boyfriend is bigger than that!" Without so much as a stutter, the Texan replied, "From the floor, ma`am?" |
