Proud FA Since 1962
As a transplanted Texan (born in NJ, in TX since 2006), I got a kick out of this list I found on Facebook.
* * * * * * * * * *
You're from Texas if...........
1. You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Palestine, Decatur, Wichita Falls, San Antonio, Mexia, Waco, and Amarillo.
2. You think that people who complain about the wind in their states are 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.
5. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
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.
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.
13. Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.
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 his or her wedding date.
18. You have known someone who has had one belt buckle bigger than your fist.
19. A bad traffic jam 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.
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 Chevy Silverado Extended Bed Crew Cab is.
24. You know everything goes better with Ranch.
25. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.
Finally, you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard or had this conversation:
"You wanna coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr. Pepper."
