You know you're from Texas when...

I love forwards. Yes, that might be odd but I don't care. They're like getting joks all the time! I don't like the "good luck" ones where people give you a guilt trip unless you FORWARD THIS TO 10 PEOPLE WITHIN 10 MINUTES. Anywho, I got this fun one the other day and just thought I would share it with y'all. If you're from Texas you'll probably laugh and understand and if you're not, well, you can just laugh too and wish you knew the joke.
ou know ur from Texas when...

*You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Ennis, Waxahachie, Palestine,
Decatur, Wichita Falls, San Antonio, Mexia, Waco, and Amarillo.

*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.

*You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

*You measure distance in minutes.

*Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.

*You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

*You know cowpies are not made of beef.

*Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

*You have known someone who has had one belt buckle bigger than your fist.


*You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store.

*A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Double Cab F-150 is.

*You know everything goes better with Ranch.

*You actually get these jokes and are "fixin' " to send them to your friends.

*You go to the river/lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

*You go to the gas station and there is a sign in the window that reads,
"No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service!"

*Your family pet is the stray dog with one leg that came limping up to your door.

*You say "Up-air" when you are refering to a place "Over there".

*Finally, you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard this conversation:

"You wanna coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr. Pepper."
