man dies and heads to final reward. St Peter meets him and says it is a bit late for entry today, so, we are going to put you up in a hotel for the evening. New morning St Pete meets with him and asks how was the evening. He says, it was nice but we have a slightly nicer place in Texas at Barton Ranch. St pete says gee, well, lets do this again, we put you up tonight and have you come back tomorrow see how you like this one. Next morning St. Pete says well, how was last night? Texan says, it was good but we got this place in Texas called Turtle Creek Mansion which is a wee bit better. St Pete is now exasperated, grabs him over to the side of a cloud and points his head down into Hades with all its fire and brimstone. St Pete says, you got anything like that in Texas? Texan says, why hell no but we got two ole boys down in Houston put that fire out in 30 minutes.
LOL!

YEE HA!
RE: Heaven and Hell and Texans
It was a while back, but a Congressman from Texas was on the long journey home from Washington. He stopped to visit his congressional colleague from Tennessee. The Tennessean gave him a tour of Knoxville. They went down near the river to see the creation. The Tennessean proudly exclaimed “ This is our great University, The University of Tennessee”. He went on to extol the great professors and opportunities for the bright students flocking to the campus. He called the chancellor who graciously greeted the congressman from Texas with a Tennessee orange T shirt emblazoned UT.
While traveling, the Texan thought on his visit and concluded that we need a university like that in Texas.
Alas, disaster struck. While philandering in a gambling hall under the hill in Natchez, the Congressman from the great but fledgling State of Texas was murdered. He went immediately to hell. The fires burned heatedly and though not consumed, his hair, eyebrows and clothing were scorched. On presentation to the devil, the evil one saw the UT shirt and decided this must be a Holy Man and cast the Texan out. He found himself dazed but alive once more on the road back to Texas.
As soon as he got home, he called a committee to meet and they created a University, The University of Texas. To his day many Texans proudly wear T shirts of Burnt Orange bearing the logo UT.
Once again, like the Alamo and San Jacinto, Texans became indebted to Tennessee for greatness.
