Things I've learned in Texas:


Armadillos sleep in the middle of the road with all four feet in the air.
There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 live in Texas.
There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 live in Texas, plus a few no
one has ever seen before.
Raccoons will test your melon crop and let you know when they are ripe.
If it grows, it will stick you. If it crawls, it will bite you!
Nothing will kill a mesquite tree.
There are valid reasons some people put razor wire around their house.
A tractor is NOT an all terrain vehicle. They do get stuck.
The wind blows at 90 mph from Oct 2 till June 25, then it stops totally
until
October2.
Onced and twiced are words.
Coldbeer is one word.
People actually grow and eat okra.
Green grass DOES burn.
When you live in the country you don't have to buy a dog. City people drop
them off at your front gate in the middle of the night.
The sound of coyotes howling at night only sounds good for the first few
weeks.
When a buzzard sits on the fence and stares at you, it's time to see a
doctor.
Fix-in-to is one word.
A TANK is a dirt hole that holds water for irrigation, watering the cows, or
swimming.
There ain't no such thing as "lunch". There is only dinner and then there's
supper.
"Sweetened ice tea" is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it
when you are two.
Backwards and forwards means I know everything about you.
"Jeet?" is actually a phrase meaning, "did you eat?"
You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time it is.
You work until you're done or it's too dark to see.
You Know you are from Texas if:
1. You measure distance in minutes.
2. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
3. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.
4. You see a car with the engine running in the Wal-mart parking lot with no
one in it, no mater what time of the year.
5.You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixin' to go to the store.
(note: in the portion above "fix-in-to" is one word....)
6 All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit or a vegetable.
7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both
unlocked.
8. You carry jumper cables for your own car.
9. You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe hunting" are.
l0. You only have four spices in your kitchen: Salt, Pepper, Catsup, and
Tabasco.
11. You think everyone from north of Dallas has an accent.
12. You think sexy underwear is a tee shirt and boxer shorts. Dang right it
is and only takes 2 seconds to get it off of him.
13. The local paper covers national and international news on one page but
requires six pages to cover Friday night high school football.
14. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.
15. You know which leaves make good toilet paper.
16. You find 100 degrees a "tad" warm
17. You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer and
Christmas.
18. You know whether another Texan is from East, West, North, or South Texas
as soon as he opens his mouth.
19. Going to Wal-mart is a favorite past-time known as "goin Wal- Martin" or
"off to Wally-world".
20. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chili
weather.
21. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop....It's a Coke
regardless of brand of flavor.
22. You understand these jokes. If you do, forward them to your friends from
Texas (or others so they'll understand Texans).

I'm a Texan; a TANK is a water moccasin farm. You only use the water for anything else after breeding season.

If you drop your wallet, kick it to Arkansas before you bend over to pick it up.
