A very wealthy Texan dies and goes to the Pearly Gates. St. Peter showed him all the wonders of Heaven, but nothing could compare to the Lone Star state in the man's eyes. St. Peter showed him the many heavenly mansions everywhere you looked but the Texan told him of many billionaires' larger and fancier luxury homes peppering Dallas, Houston and the miles of Texas ranchland. St. Peter then took him through the glimmering streets of gold but the Texan said he seen more gold in the teeth of his Texas ranch hands. Showed him the jewel-encrusted foundation stones of the walls of Heaven and the Texan said he'd seen far more spectacular jewelry at the Cattle Baron's Ball. St. Peter, almost chagrined with this prideful old Texas tycoon, thought for a minute and then smiled coyly to himself.

St. Peter escorts the Texan to the edge of Hell. He has the man look down into the hotly raging fires of Hell, leaping 4500 feet in the air, massive clouds of smoke and soot billowing wildly through the roiling flames, incinerating everything in sight in only seconds, and wiping sweat as the temperature around the two soared in only a matter of seconds soaring from the huge boiling Lake of Fire, asks with something approaching a smirk, "You have anything like that in Texas?"

The Texan sighed resignedly, rocks back a little on the heels of his boots and hands in his pockets, looks earnestly at St. Peter and said "No.......that we don't ------ but I know a good 'ol boy down 'ner in Houston who could put 'er out fer ya purty quick."

(This was a joke that circulated around Texas after the death of Red Adair.)
