St. Peter comes to the Lord with a long litany of complaints about Texans in Heaven.

" They're swinging on the Pearly Gates. Angel Gabriel reports that his horn is missing. Barbecue sauce is all over their robes.Their dogs are riding in the chariots and they're wearing baseball caps and cowboy hats instead of their halos.There are watermelon seeds all over the place."

The Lord soothes St. Peter and says: "Heaven is home to all my children. If you really want to hear about problems we could call the Devil".

St. Peter looks a little doubtful. The Lord says: OK, I'll call him!"

The lord gets the Devil on the phone. Almost immediately it is apparent that the Devil is distracted. He apologizes for constantly getting on and off the phone - and shouting at other devils with remarks like:" "Migod, what are they doing now?"

The Devil keeps interrupting the phone conversation with the Lord and profusely apologizing - but it is apparent that his "domain" is falling to pieces around him.

Finally the Lord gets to ask the Devil:" What kind of problems are you having down there?".

The Devil says: "Hold on again.I have to check on something"

After about 5 minutes, the Devil comes back to the phone. "OK, I'm back. What can I do for you?"

The Lord asks: " What kind of problems are you having down there?" Even now the Devil acts distracted and certainly very upset.

The Devil replies: " You wouldn't believe my problems!. Those damn Texans have put out the fire and are trying to install air conditioning".
