I have always been fascinated by trivia and I
thought you might be interested in this bit of trivia as well. 
Where did the Texas Longhorn logo idea come from?

 








I did not know this!

 In Texas there is a town called New Braunfels, where there is a large German-speaking population.

One day, a local rancher driving down a country road noticed a man using his hand to drink water from the rancher's stock pond. 











The rancher rolled down the window and shouted: "Sehr angenehm! Trink das Wasser nicht. Die kuehe haben darein geschissen."
This means: “Glad to meet you! Don't drink the water. The cows have shit in it."

The man shouted back: "I'm from New York and just down here campaigning for Joe Biden. I can't understand you. Please speak in English." 

The rancher replied: "Use both hands”!!

New Braunfels is great, lots of German smokehouses.  And of course, the original Schlitterbahn water park.

Not sure I'd like their Oktoberfest Bier if they did

May be an image of body of water and text that says 'The boat used as the S.S. Minnow in Gilligan's Isle was a 1964 Wheeler with a cruising speed of 12 knots- which means they couldn't have traveled more than 41.5 miles. Now I'm starting to doubt if the show was even real.'
