A big-time developer from Dallas was visiting Israel. As his Israeli host was taking him around, he pointed to a new 20-story apartment-complex and exclaimed, “That building took our people less than two years to complete!”

The Texan sneered, “Ha! In Texas, a complex like that would go up in 6 months!”

As they moved along, they came to a brand-new power plant. Hoping not to be outdone by his guest this time, the Israeli said, “This new power-station took us less than three months to construct!”

To which the Texan responded haughtily, “Buddy, a facility like that in Texas would take us a week – two weeks tops – to put up!”

Toward evening, they passed a beautiful new tower in the Diamond Center, ablaze with lights – one of the most modern and impressive buildings in all of Israel.

“Hmm… What building is that across the street?” asked the Texan.

The Israeli casually shrugged his shoulders and said, “I don’t know… All I can say is — it wasn’t there this morning!”
