John Kidder and West R Lee have been comparing the size of their ..... ranches.
Reminded me of this tale.
Three cowboy-looking guys are sitting at a bar. They get to talking and learn they're all Texas landowners. The first one says, "Yep, got me a spread of 100,000 acres."
Second one says, "Well, heck, Tex! That ain't nothin'. Got me a spread of 200,000 acres."
The third fella just nods approvingly, but doesn't say anything. So the first two cowboys get around to asking him outright, "How 'bout it, Tex? How big's your spread."
The quiet Texan says, "Well, Boys, I only got about 50 acres, myself."
Tex 1 and Tex 2 nearly fall off their stools laughing. "50 lousy acres! Hell, Tex, you can't run no kinda herd on a meager 50 acres! What the heck do you call this itty-bitty spread anyway?!"
"Well", says Tex 3 calmly, "Most folks just call it downtown Dallas."
