Not WA, and not exactly a joke, but funny I think for a completely over the top (and actual) demonstration of how "they do things BIG in Texas"!
They say it's safe to go fishing on the border when you have this kinda rig!
As many know, we here in Texas have a border problem.
Lake Falcon is a lake that borders Texas and Mexico . Last year several boaters were killed by drug cartel folks from the other side.
We are now aware that the automatic weapons used in the killings were probably from "Fast and Furious".
When Texas joined the Union as a sovereign nation in 1836, we retained the right to have a Navy to ward off the Mexicans,
since the United States refused to protect us. This is our first Naval vessel of this century, small but potent.
It will soon be safe to fish and boat on the Lake Falcon this summer.
Just about every Texan is prepared to be in a gun fight, and you can't have enough guns.
The TEXAS DPS - New 36 ft. Patrol/Gunboat (pictured at the Homer Garrison Law Enforcement Academy in Austin).
Designed and built to patrol Falcon Lake .
The armaments onboard include…
o 5 - static mounted [2 dual & 1 single] FN M240B 7.62×51 mm NATO light machine guns,
o 2 - Barrett .50 BMG Sniper Rifles, and other assorted 5.56 rifles,
o 9mm sub machine guns, and grenade launchers.
MEXICAN PIRATES? "Bring 'em on!" ...
They want to make sure nothing could outrun them... THAT'S 900 HP!!
Little over the top perhaps?

That is a RIDICULOUS amount of horsepower
