A rancher from Texas was traveling through Vermont and stopped along a country road to talk to a local farmer.
"How large of an acreage do you cultivate?" the Texan asked.
"Oh, it's pretty big," the Vermonter replied.
"My farm extends for about a hundred yards in that direction and for nearly a hundred-twenty yards in that.
"And how large an acreage do you handle?"
The Texan smiled.
"Back home," he said, "I have a ranch with my house located at one end. I can get into my truck at the house in the morning, turn the ignition key, step on the gas, and by the end of the day I still won't have reached the other end."
The Vermont farmer nodded sympathetically. "Yeah, that's tough. I once had a truck like that, too."
