You know Texas is a pretty special place when a kid in the back bush of Nigeria draws a crude map of Texas with a stick and asks,

"Where's Dallas?"

I have had this very same experience in numerous countries, except they asked where Houston was and if Texas is really that big!!!

The reason he asked about Dallas was the TV series, "Dallas", which got to the cities of Nigeria about five years after it quit running in the US.

Can you imagine someone in a foreign country drawing a map of Utah and asking, "Where's Ogden"?
