Ethnic jokes
A Texan, while visiting Toronto, found himself
in the back seat of a taxi cab on the way to his hotel. Passing by
the
Royal York the Texan asked the cab driver "What's that
building
there?" "That's the Royal York Hotel" replied the cabbie. "The
Royal
York? How long did it take to build that?" asked the Texan.
"About 12
years" replied the cabbie.
"12 years? We build 'em
twice as high, twice as wide and four times
as long down in Texas,
and we do that in six months."
A while later the cab driver
makes his was past the Metro-Toronto
Convention Centre. "What's that
building over there?" asked the Texan.
"That's the Metro-Toronto
Convention Centre" replied the cabbie.
"Convention Centre? How
long'd it take to build that?" asked the Texan.
"About three years"
replied the cabbie. "Three years? We build 'em
twice as high, three
times as long and four times as wide as that down
in Texas, and
it only takes us about two weeks."
Shortly thereafter the
cabbie drives past the CN Tower. "What's that
building there?" asks
the Texan, pointing at the tower. "Danged if I
know" replied the
cabbie, "It wasn't here when I drove by
yesterday."
