A Texan is visiting Toronto for a short stay. He gets into a
cab and asks the driver to show him the sights. The cabbie
first takes him by the Eaton Centre.

"What's that?" says the Texan.

"Oh, that's the Eaton Centre. It's a shopping complex with over
300 stores."

"Golleee," drawls the Texan. "How long d'you reckon it took to put that up?"

"Oh, I dunno," replies the cabbie. "About two years, I think."

"Two years!" exclaims the Texan. "Why, in Texas, we coulda put
that up in less'n ONE year!"

The cabbie continues on the tour, and passes by the First Canadian Place.

"What's that?" says the Texan, craning his neck and looking up.

"Oh, that's the First Canadian Place. It's got 72 storeys,
and about 50,000 people work in that one building.

"Mah goodness," drawls the Texan. "How long d'you reckon it took
to put that up?"

The cabbie, not wanting to be outdone this time, said, "Oh,
I seem to remember that going up in about six months."

"Six months!" exclaims the Texan. "Why, in Texas, we coulda put up
that buildin' in THREE months!"

The cabbie is now getting a little annoyed. He turns west, and
takes his passenger by the CN Tower.

"Golleee," drawls the Texan, looking 1,800 feet up to the top
of the tower. "What's that?"

"I dunno," says the cabbie. "It wasn't here this morning."
