Australian Field Mice ....While on a business trip to Australia, a Texan rancher befriends an Australian rancher. The Australian invites the Texan to his ranch and points to an enormous wheat field and tells the Texan that this is his field.

The Texan acts unimpressed and says, "In Texas our small wheat fields are twice that size."

The Australian then takes the Texan to his house and points to his herd of large, healthy cattle. The Texan asks the Australian if these are calves and explains that Texan cattle are much larger.

The Texan continues to explain how things are just bigger and better in Texas. As he continues his boasting, some kangaroos go hopping across the field. The Texan stops bragging and asks, "What are those monstrous creatures that just went by?"

The Australian takes full opportunity of the moment and answers, "Oh, those things? They're just a few field mice."

And after a dramatic pause says, "But don't worry, mate, our cats will take care of them!"
