You’ve probably heard the old adage: Everything is bigger in Texas. For example, this is a cinnamon roll at a restaurant here in town:
It’s big. (And in this picture, I look slightly drugged out.)
These are a pair of Cowboy Boots in town:
They’re big.
My wife is a Texan, so when it comes to the pillow she likes to lay her head on at night… she likes a huge, fluffy pillow. Well, a couple weeks ago she went to the store and tried to go cheap on a pillow. No dice. The following is an artist rendition of her head:
All hanging loose and crooked. She gave up on that pillow quickly and returned to the store. There she found a pack of two pillows for just $5. Each pillow was too thin, but she knew if she combined forces the combo would be amazing… similar to peanut butter and jelly or milk and chocolate or the Power Rangers.
Now one would think it would be good to combine said pillow in one pillow case. However, she had another idea. She would surgically open one case, steal all of its fluff, and place it in the other pillow. One case, twice the fluff. She knew when this was complete, she would have her ultimate pillow.
She performed the surgery. That night she snuggled up with her pillow. It was then she discovered she had made it too fat. Like too much peanut butter and jelly with no bread… it doesn’t work.
This is her pillow. For comparison, I have placed a standard sized compact disk next to the pillow for comparison:
Yes. It is true. Everything is bigger in Texas.
