The Texan
A Texan, while visiting Belfast, found himself in the back seat of a taxi cab on the way to his hotel.
Passing by the Europa the Texan asked the cab driver "What's that building there?" "That's the Europa hotel" replied the cabbie "

The Europa? How long did it take to build that?" asked the Texan.
"About 6 years" replied the cabbie.

"6 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 Jurys inn
.
"What's that building over there?" asked the Texan
.
"That's the Jurys inn another hotel" replied the cabbie
"
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 City hall
.
"What's that building there?" asks the Texan
. "Damned if I know" replied the cabbie, "It wasn't here when I drove by yesterday."
