A Texan died and went to heaven . . .

"Show me what you got, Pete," said the Texan.
St. Peter swung open the gates and revealed a beautiful landscape of mountains, rivers, streams, trees, flowers an all the trimmings.
"We've got that in Texas. We call it Supreme Ranch" said the Texan.
St. Pete flashed up a scene of men, women and children frolicking on the countryside, riding coaches, swinging, swimming, riding horses, bicycling, etc.
"We've got that, too. We call it Six Flags."
Where upon St. Peter threw open a trapdoor of the fires of Hell and out shot a huge ball of fire followed by a solid stream of flame sweeping over the entire area. The blinding light and heat were enormous.
"We don't have that," said the Texan, "but we've got a guy in Houston who can put it out."
