A Texan died and went to heaven where Saint Peter met him at the Pearly Gates.

"Show me what you got, Pete," said Tex.

Saint Peter swung open the gates and revealed a beautiful landscape of mountains, rivers, streams, trees, flowers and all the trimmings.
"We’ve got that in Texas. We call it King Ranch," said Tex.

Saint Peter flashed up a scene of men, women and children frolicking on the countryside, riding coaches, swinging, swimming, riding horses, bicycling, etc.
"We’ve got that, too. We call it Six Flags."

Whereupon Saint Peter threw open a trapdoor of the fires of Hell and out shot a huge ball of fire followed by a solid stream of flame sweeping over the entire area. The
blinding light and heat were enormous.

"We don’t have that," said Tex, "but we’ve got a guy in Houston who can put it out."
