A friend sent me this.

While I don't agree with all of it, it's just a joke.

U R A Texan If:

You can properly pronounce Corsicana,

Palestine, Decatur, Wichita Falls, San

Antonio, Burnet, Boerne, Nacogdoches,

Mexia, Waco, Amarillo , and Waxahachie.
A tornado warning siren is your signal to

go out in the yard and look for a funnel.
You've ever had to switch from

"heat"to "A/C" in the same day.
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.
Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.
You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.
You measure distance in minutes.
Little Smokies are something you

serve only for special occasions.
You go to the lake because you

think it is like going to the ocean.
You listen to the weather forecast

before picking out an outfit
You know cow-pies are not made of beef.

12.. Someone you know has used a football

schedule to plan their wedding date.
You have known someone who has had a

belt buckle bigger than your fist.
You aren't surprised to find movie rental,

ammunition, and bait all in the same store.
Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it.
A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol;

a Ford F350 4x 4 is.
You know everything goes better

with Ranch dressin'.
You learned how to shoot a gun

before you learned how to multiply.
You actually understand this and you are

"fixin'to" send it to your friends.
Finally, you are 100% Texan if you have

ever heard this conversation:

" You wanna coke?" "Yeah."

"What kind?" "Dr. Pepper!"

about that belt buckle:

Years ago I worked in an office where a high school girl helped out in the afternoons.

She was a rodeo girl, always wore jeans & western shirts, & she was out of town most week-ends traveling to one rodeo or another.

She had never flown before.

On the Monday following her first airplane trip to a rodeo in another state, somebody asked her how it went.

She blushed & looked embarrassed, & finally told it:

She had set off the metal detector.

She emptied her purse & her pockets & still set the thing off.

Finally, the security person realized it was her championship rodeo buckle...

'bout the size of a dessert plate.

Uh, I've worn bib overalls to a funeral.
There are some little smokies in the freezer for a special occassion. AND I know how to make that stuff with the grape jelly for them.
We changed the date 3 times for a friends wedding, the high school made the playoffs.
We have a F250 and an F150, we drool over the F650.
Heat to ac to heat in one afternoon.
I can pronounce all of them!
I've moved the truck to the other side of the street to be in shade before.
Tally Ho!
I thought you measured distance in hours. Like, the airport is almost 2 hours away!

Amen! Working on the DH's pronunciation skills and directions. He actually wants the oversized belt buckle, but I told him if he started off with that my country cousins (who have actually won all theirs in bull-riding competitions) would laugh at the city-boy poser. So we're starting small. He got some nice compliments and an offer to trade buckles the last time we visited!
