There was a very self-sufficient blind man who did a lot of traveling alone.
He was making his first trip to Houston and happened to be seated next to a
Texan on the flight.
The Texan spent a lot of time telling him how everything is bigger and
better in Texas. By the time the blind man had reached his destination, a
large resort hotel, he was very excited about being in Texas.
The long trip had worn him out a little so he decided to stop at the snack
bar for a small soda and a snack before going up to his room to unpack his
clothes. When the waitress set down his Dr Pepper, it was in a huge 64 ounce
mug and a half-pound burger! “Wow, I had heard everything in Texas is
bigger,” he told her, but this is amazing.
“That’s right,” she replied. The blind man ate his ‘snack’ and finished his
drink. After drinking such a large amount, it was only natural his next stop
was going to have to be the restroom. He asked the waitress for directions.
She told him to turn left at the register and it would be the second door on
the right.
He reached the first door and continued down the hall. A few steps later he
stumbled slightly and missed the second door altogether and ended up going
through the third door instead. Not realizing he had mistakenly entered the
swimming area, he walked forward and immediately fell into the swimming
pool.
Remembering everything he had heard about things being bigger in Texas, as
soon as he had his head above water he started shouting “Don’t flush! Don’t
flush!”
