JB needs to pay attention to #23.<br /><br /><br />You know you're a Texan if........... <br /><br />1. You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Palestine, Decatur, Wichita Falls, San Antonio, Mexia, Waco, Amarillo, and Waxahachie. <br /><br />2. You think that people who complain about the wind in their states are just sissies. <br /><br />3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel. <br /><br />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 /><br />7. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks. <br /><br />8. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals. <br /><br />9. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent. <br /><br />10. You measure distance in minutes. <br /><br />11. You refer to the capital of Texas as "home of the Longhorns." <br /><br />12. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplane crash (or space shuttle). <br /><br />13. Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions. <br /><br />14. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean. <br /><br />15. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit. <br /><br />16. You know cowpies are not made of beef. <br /><br />17. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date. <br /><br />18. You have known someone who has had a belt buckle bigger than your fist. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />20. You know which state Miam-uh is in.......and which states Miam-ee is in. <br /><br />21. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store. <br /><br />22. Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it. <br /><br />23. A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F350 4x4 is. <br /><br />24. You know everything goes better with Ranch. <br /><br />25. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply. <br /><br />26. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin' " to send them to your friends.<br /><br />27. And finally, you know you're 100% Texan if you have ever heard this conversation: <br /><br /> "You wanna coke?"<br /><br /> "Yeah."<br /><br /> "What kind?"<br /><br /> "Dr. Pepper."
