A commenter on the site says that some type of mosquitoes (Texas) are used in oil drilling. I tried googling "texas mosquitoes oil drilling" and variants, but didn't find anything.
"Why, one species even secretes an enzyme to dissolve the organic matter in blood leaving only the iron in haemoglobin. Then another enzyme causes the iron atoms to join to form biological drill pipe! These structures are known to be as much as 6 inches in diameter and to extend a mile deep."
Is there something to it or he just went to on the internet to tell lies?
Then there's the one about the mosquito that landed at [local air force base] and the fuel truck was half-way to it before they noticed it wasn't a fighter jet.
Up north a few winters back the weather was so cold that words froze up as you talked. People had to stand around a fire to have a conversation. When spring thaw finally came the sound of all the melting conversations was deafening.
Then there was the time that Pecos Bill lassoed and rode a twister, but that's a tale for another time.

That is a joke that makes more sense once you've been bitten there.

In Texas, we'd call that a tall tale.

I laughed for a good minute after reading your comment... Hope it counts!
