Since we're enjoying humor today, here's a "Chuckleberry" for you (from the Huckleberry Press):

"Okay, so a Texan rancher comes upon a farmer from Maine. The Texan looks at the Mainer and asks, "Say, how much land you think you got here?" The Mainer answers, "Bout 10 acres, I'd say."  The Texan (boasting), "Well, on my lot, it takes me all day to drive completely around my property." The Mainer (doubtless with a straight face) replies, "Yep, I got one of them trucks too."
