“Bigger Is Better” Meets “Everything Is Bigger In Texas”

I work as a bellman at a hotel in Victoria on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. I am approached by an American guest.

Guest: “Do you all live on the island, or do you need to ferry over each day to work?”

Me: “We live on the island, ma’am.”

Guest: “Is the island bigger than Texas?”

Me: “Uh, no. Texas is much bigger than Vancouver Island.” 

Guest: *Almost to herself* “I knew Texas was better than this island.”
