<DIV>For some of these, you have to have lived the rural life we have, but
they're still fun....<BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq
style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">
<DIV>You are a true Texan if:<BR><BR><BR>1. You can properly pronounce
Corsicana, Palestine, Decatur, Wichita Falls, San Antonio, Mexia, Waco, and
Amarillo.<BR><BR><BR>2. You think that people who complain about the wind in
their states are sissies.<BR><BR><BR>3. A tornado warning siren is your signal
to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>4. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on
the highway.<BR><BR>5. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the
same day.<BR><BR>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.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>7. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>8. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>9. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>10. You measure distance in minutes.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>11. You refer to the capital of Texas as "home of the
Longhorns."<BR></DIV>
<DIV>12. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in
an airplane crash.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>13. Little Smokies are something you serve only for special
occasions.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>14. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the
ocean.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>15. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an
outfit.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>16. You know cowpies are not made of beef.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>17. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their
<BR>wedding date.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>18. You have known someone who has had one belt buckle bigger than
<BR>your fist.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>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.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>20. You know which state Miam-uh is in.......and which states Miam-ee is
in.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>21. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all
in the same store.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>22. Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>23. A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F350 4x4 is.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>24. You know everything goes better with Ranch.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>25. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to
multiply.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>26. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin' " to send them to your
friends.<BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Finally, you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard this
conversation:<BR></DIV>
<DIV>"You wanna coke?"<BR>"Yeah."<BR>"What kind?"<BR>"Dr.
Pepper."<BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><BR>
