Abe lives on a kibutz in Israel. One day he is asked to be an escort for a Texan who has come over to Israel to learn how the jews can make crops grow in the desert. They spend the day together and tour the whole operation. The Texan, however, is not impressed.
?Abe,? he says, ?I don?t know how you can stand living one right on top of the other. I need my wide open spaces.?
?Well, ? says Abe, ?we make do the best we can with what God has given us.?
?But hell?s bells, Abe? says the Texan, ?I can practically spit a watermelon seed from one side of this kibutz to the other. Why, down there in Texas, I can get in my car at sun-up and drive all day, all day Abe, and I?m still on my own property.?
?Ah,? says Abe, ?I have also owned a car such as this.?
