Woodpeckers


A Texas woodpecker and a New Mexico woodpecker were arguing about which place had the toughest trees. The Texas woodpecker said Texas had a tree that no woodpecker could peck. The New Mexico woodpecker accepted his challenge and promptly pecked a hole in the tree with no problem. The Texas woodpecker was amazed. The New Mexico woodpecker then challenged the Texas woodpecker to peck a tree in New Mexico that was absolutely im-peck-able (a term woodpeckers like to use).

The Texas woodpecker expressed confidence, said he could do it and accepted the challenge. So the two flew to New Mexico where the Texas woodpecker successfully pecked the so-called im-peck-able tree with no problem. Both woodpeckers were terribly confused. How is it that the New Mexico woodpecker was able to peck the Texas tree and the Texas woodpecker was able to peck the New Mexico tree, yet neither was able to peck the tree in their own state?? Huh?After much woodpecker pondering, they both came to the same conclusion:. .....Apparently your pecker gets harder when you're away from home.
