Default Texas Whittling Knife

Even in the wake of Ike .. you can find humor in all things ..

Here's a sample of just how big Texas is and how we Texans live up our name .. You have heard for years .. "Everythings Big In Texas " .. Now this proves it ..

Hope you enjoy


Gene

Hahahaha that's great, I would guess that means your cuts and carving scars are bigger as well, not that it's a good thing.

Gene,

Was going to suggest you post a picture of a "Texas Skeeter", but by the time you got the photo shrunk down small enough to post no one would want to click on the thumbnail when all they can see is a big, ugly, hairy eyeball staring back at them. (you probably don't want to scare folks)

Hope things are drying out down in your neck of the woods.

Jim
