"Another Texan" joke

A Texan was taking a taxi tour of London, and was in a hurry.
As they went by the Tower of London the cabbie explained what it was and
that construction started in 1346 and it was completed in 1412, the Texan
replied, "Shoot, a little ol' tower like that? In Houston we'd have that
thing up in two weeks!"
House of Parliament next - Started construction in 1544, completed 1618
"Hell boy, we put up a bigger one than that in Dallas and it only took a
year!"
As they passed Westminister Abbey the cabby was silent. "Whoah! What's
that over there?" "Damned if I know, wasn't there yesterday..."
