A young man, raised in the great state of Texas, had struck out on his own,
and finally purchased a ranch in Oklahoma. He invited his father out for a
visit and took him on a tour of the property. Driving along in the son's
pickup truck, a jackrabbit hopped onto the road in front of them.
The son stopped the truck to let the rabbit pass, the father queried, "What in
tarnation is that!?"
The son incredulously replied, "That's a jackrabbit, Dad, what did you think
it was?"
The father shrugged and said," We grow 'em a lot bigger'n that back home in
Texas."
So they went on and a little farther they came to some buffalo roaming the
range. The son stopped the truck and the father again said in a puzzled tone,
"What are those?"
The son hesitantly said, "Those are buffalo, Dad; you gotta be kidding me. You
really don't recognize them?"
"It's just that we grow 'em so much bigger back in Texas."
The son, a bit disgruntled, drove on in silence. At length, they approached a
low spot in
the road, with marshy wetlands on either side. A large
snapping turtle lumbered onto the road. The father peered
intently at the creature and said, "Now what the heck is that thing!?
The son replied, without missing a beat, "Wood tick!"
