"One riot; one Texas Ranger"

This a famous quote all over Texas and has been for a long time.    In view of the bikers in Waco,  I have to wonder, where were they?

Our friend "D" called this morning and during the conversation,  he had a personal story to re late about Waco

In 1991 he was on assignment there.  He said he stayed at the Waco Hilton and noticed a rung track outside.  Wanting to do some laps, he asked the Desk about it.

The desk man promptly said, "Ah, you don't want to be doin' that - Go on to Baylor; they got a real nice track an all kinds a facilities." 

"D"  looked out of the window again and the Desk man said, "Don't chew go out there to run - didn't you know that Waco is the world capital of murders?"

Personally I'm not sure of the accuracy of that statement - everything in Texas is the "Biggest!" and the "Best"!  Why not numbers of murderers?
