CHICAGO BEDBUGS
There once was a Texas rancher who visited collegues in Chicago. They decided to show him the big city. When he saw the stockyards, he said, “That ain’t much. We’ve got branding corrals on my ranch bigger than that.” When he saw skyscrapers, he commented, “We’ve got tombstones at home taller than that.” That night, the annoyed Chicago hosts decided to get even. They left rats in the Texan’s bed. When the rancher climbed under the sheets, the unpleasant surprise brought him quickly to his feet, screaming, “What was that?” “Those are Chicago bedbugs,” they answered. Gaining his composure, the Texan replied, “You’re right… young’uns, aren’t they!” By Steve Brown, Key Biscayne, Florida
