A Texan=
was taking a taxi tour of London and immediately began comparing that city=
with his beloved Texas. (No surprise there, eh?)
=
As they went by the Tower of London the cabby explained what it w=
as and that construction started in 1346 and it was completed in 1412.=
The Texan replied, "Shoot, a little ol’=
tower like that? In Houston we’d have that thing up in two or three weeks!=
"
The House of Parliament was next=
, and the driver proudly said it was constructed in 1544, finished 1618.
"Heavens to Betsy, boy! We put up a b=
igger one than that in Dallas and it only took a year!"
As they passed Westminster Abbey the cabby was silent=
=2E
The Texan looked at the imposing ed=
ifice and asked, "Whoa! What’s that over there?"
"Sorry sir. I don’t know what it is. T=
his was just an empty lot yesterday."
