True Texan

Rather than forward this to my friends (and piss them off by being a forward-monkey) I’m just gonna post this here so everyone can read it.

You’re from Texas if………..
1. You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Palestine, Decatur, Wichita Falls, San Antonio, Mexia, Waco,
Amarillo, and Waxahachie.

2. You think that people who complain about the wind in their states are just sissies.

3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

4. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway. (OMG)

5. You’ve ever had to switch from “heat” to “A/C” in the same day. (Did this all week long)

6. You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.

7. Stores don’t have bags, they have sacks.

8. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.

9. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

10. You measure distance in minutes. (SO true)

11. You refer to the capital of Texas as “home of the Longhorns.”

12. It doesn’t bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplane crash (or space shuttle).

13. Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions. (or never)

14. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

15. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

16. You know cowpies are not made of beef.

17. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

18. You have known someone who has had a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

19. A bad traffic tie up involves two cars staring each other down at a four-way stop, each determined to be the most polite and let the other go first. (Hahahahahaha)

20. You know which state Miam-uh is in…….and which states Miam-ee is in.

21. You aren’t surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store.

22. Your “place at the lake” has wheels under it.

23. A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F350 4×4 is. (an ugly status symbol, maybe)

24. You know everything goes better with Ranch. (Sigh.. I hate that this is true)

25. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply. (Not true on this one.. never shot a gun.. of course I suck at math, too)

26. You actually get these jokes and are “fixin’ ” to send them to your friends. (nice touch)

27. Finally, you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard this conversation:
“You wanna coke?”
“Yeah.”
“What kind?”
“Dr.Pepper.”

BTW: I did know how to shoot before I could multiply. BB gun. I’m actually a pretty good shot. The only one I didn’t get was 20. Huh?

MY MY….

It kind of puts things into perspective…don’t it?

Lucky me…I can say yes to most of those…but to be honest, it’s EXACTLY the same way in Oklahoma.
