David A Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 A Texan farmer goes to Australia for a vacation. There he meets an Aussie farmer and gets talking. The Aussie shows off his big wheat field and the Texan says, "Oh! We have wheat fields that are at least twice as large." Then they walk around the ranch a little, and the Aussie shows off his herd of cattle. The Texan immediately says, "We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cows." The conversation has, meanwhile, almost died when the Texan sees a herd of kangaroos hopping through the field. He asks, "And what are those?" The Aussie, fed up with the Texan's bragging replies with an incredulous look, "What, don't you have any grasshoppers in Texas?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy RN Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 WELL we grow the ugliest, scariest nasty bugs that JUMP at you. YUK! They have long legs like a spider BUT are built like a cricket. I HATE THEM I want to send them all to Australia or even Texas. Illinois should not have awful bugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David A Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 What you have to do Cindy is catch those bugs, then dip them in melted chocolate, they make terrific treats! Yummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveG Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 In Wisconsin we call those Bugs "FIB'S" or "Flatlanders". If anyone must know FIB is an Acronym. I'll leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay A. Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Dave G.... I always thought that FIB stood for " Friendly Illinois Boy". Am I wrong? Fay A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
