We grow them bigger

A young man who left his home in Texas at an early age, finally purchased
his own ranch in Oklahoma.  He invited his father out for a visit, and took
him on a tour of the property.  Driving along in the
son's pickup truck, a jack rabbit hopped onto the road in front of them.

The son stopped the truck to let the rabbit pass, and the father queried:
"What in tarnation is that!?"

The son incredulously replied, "That's a jackrabbit, Dad, what did you
think it was?"  The father shrugged and said, "We grow 'em a lot bigger'n
at back home in Texas."

So they went on and a little farther on they came to a few buffalo roaming
the range.  The son stopped the truck and the father again said in a
puzzled tone, "What are those?"  The son hesitantly said, "Those are
buffalo, Dad; you gotta be kiddin me, you really don't recognize them?"
The father replied, "Well, I guess they're kinda familiar, it's just that
we grow 'em so much bigger back in Texas."

The son, a bit disgruntled, drove on in silence. At length they approached
a low part in the road with marshy
wetlands on either side.  A Large snapping turtle lumbered onto the road.
The father peered intently at the creature and said "Now what the heck is
that thing!?"  Without missing a beat, the son replied, "Wood tick"..
