Woodpeckers Revisited

Please forgive me for the following. I will not reveal my source. I put
no varnish on this woodwork.

"An Alaskan woodpecker and a Texas woodpecker were in Alaska arguing
about which state had the toughest trees to peck. The Alaskan woodpecker
said that they had a tree that no woodpecker can peck. The Texas
woodpecker challenged him and was able to peck a hole in the tree with
no problem. The Alaskan woodpecker was in awe. The Texas woodpecker
challenged the Alaskan woodpecker to peck a tree in Texas that no
woodpecker had been able to peck successfully. The Alaskan woodpecker
expressed much confidence thathe could do it. After flying to Texas and
successfully pecking the tree in Texas, the two woodpeckers couldn't
figure out why the Texas woodpecker was able to peck the Alaskan tree
and the Alaskan woodpecker was able to peck the Texan tree when neither
one was able to peck the tree in their own state. After thinking for
some time they both came to the same conclusion:  Your pecker is always
harder when you're away from home..."
