A loud American, looking for properties to buy out in Australia is in the bar of the Railway Hotel.“Yeah, ma’am“ he says to the barmaid “ ah’m looking to buy me a ranch- stations, you call them, so they tell me. Ah come from Texas and ah’m looking for a big spread because where I come from in Texas, everythang is BIG. Why, do you know, mah ranch in Texas is so big, it takes a whole week to ride around it on a horse?““Yeah?“ says a wizened station hand sitting at the bar. „If we had a horse like that we’d turn it into glue.“
