Alaska vs. Texas

I am a bit ashamed to admit it, but I probably didn't know that Alaska is larger than Texas (or any other state, for that matter) until I was almost 10 or 11 years-old. I'd blame the Anchorage School District, though it was more likely my lack of academic ambition.

I suppose that's why I got a bit of a chuckle out of this booth at the Saturday Market in Anchorage; on one hand I was a bit put-off by the sign so clearly visible to young eyes ("Mommy, what's pissin' off?"), while on the other hand it's pretty darn funny. Those who say everything's bigger in Texas obviously haven't caught a 100 lb. King salmon.

I heard someone from Alaska say that if Alaska were divided in two, Texas would be the third largest state. That would shut up people from Texas.
