Those Texans


Gabriel went to the Lord and said, "I have to
Talk to you. We have some Texans up here who are causing
Some real problems ....

They're swinging on the Pearly Gates, my horn is
Missing, and they are wearing T-shirts instead of their
Robes; there's barbecue sauce and picante sauce all over
Everything, especially their T-shirts; their dogs are riding
In the chariots and chasing the
Sheep.

They are wearing baseball caps and cowboy hats
Instead of their halos.. They refuse to keep the stairway to
Heaven clean, and their boots are marking and scuffing up
The halls of Wisdom. There are watermelon seeds and tortilla
Chip crumbs all over the place. Some of them are walking
Around with just one wing; and they insist on bringing their
Darn horses with them."

The Lord said, "Texans are Texans, Gabriel.
Heaven is home to all of my children. If you want to know
About real problems, call the
Devil."

So Gabriel calls the Devil who
Answers the phone and
Says, "Hello -- hold on a
Minute."

When he returns to the phone the Devil says,
"O.K., I'm back. What can I do for
You?"

Gabriel replied, "I just want to know what kinds
Of problems you are having down there with the
Texans."

The Devil said, "Hold on again. I need to check
On something."

After about 5 minutes the Devil returned to the
Phone and said. "I'm back. Now what was
The question?"

Gabriel said, "What kind of problems are you
Having down there with the
Texans?"

The Devil said, "Man, I don't believe this
... Hold on."

This time the Devil was gone 15 minutes and when he
Returns he says, "I'm sorry Gabriel, I can't
Talk right now. Red Adair has put out the fire and and
Brown and Root is installing air
Conditioning."


Always remember ... TEXANS SURVIVE ... Despite the odds against
Us!!!
