Maybe it was a ballot for the best chile recipe.

I was in a bar having a quick bite to eat after a late night, and they had the chilean miners story on TV.

Guy next to me said, "Why do they have a Texan flag up there?"

Shouldn't that read, "Don't mess with Chile, Texas"? It ain't like Chile went and printed up a bunch of Texas country ballot forms, ya know.

I've heard that Texas Chilli can do nasty things to the G.I. tract, and it generally is pretty spicy, I wouldn't want to mess with it either.

A plot of Chile, eh?  Is that with or without beans?

Reminds me of a guy I worked with at the nuclear power plant several years ago now.  Eddie was... a character.  At one point, someone said to him, "Eddie, you're as strong as an ox, and twice as dumb!"

His response - "I am NOT as strong as an ox!  Maybe... a quarter as strong."

The room erupted in laughter.


Not that that was relevant to anything.  Just reminded me of an amusing incident.

I wonder if it was less, the flag of Chile, and more of a someone using paint accidentally dragged the red box to far over, which happens to be the Chile flag.

That still wouldn't be right; the Texas star is vertically centered on the left part of the flag, so just overextending the red would cut it in half.  The Chilean star is vertically centered in the upper half of the left part of the flag.
