You know you are a Texan

I got this from a friend and I think it kind of goes with my trailer ride post...

You know you are a Texan if:

1. You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Palestine, Decatur, Wichita Falls, San Antonio, Burnet, Boerne, Nacogdoches, Mexia, Waco, Amarillo , and Waxahachie. (yes - I'm always correcting people who think Palestine is pronouced like a country in the middle east)

2. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel. (um, no - I'm a little more safety conscious than that)

3. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day. (absolutely)

4. 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. (yep)

5. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks. (I think I call them bags)

6. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals. (I don't think we are this tacky)

7. You measure distance in minutes. (guilty)

8. Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions. (or wrapped in crescent roll dough for pigs in a blanket)

9. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean. (I know the difference)

10. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit (very rarely)

11. You know cow-pies are not made of beef. (of course I know what cow-pies are made of)

12.. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date. (oh yes, esp. A&M games)

13. You have known someone who has had a belt buckle bigger than your fist. (hmmm, I'm not into examining belt buckles)

14. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store. (I've never seen a store like this)

15. Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it. (I wish I had a place at the lake)

16. A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol; a Ford F350 4x 4 is. (I'll take a MB over an F350 any day)

17. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressin'. (oh yeah)

18. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply. (I don't recall)

19. You actually understand this and you are "fixin' to" send it to your friends. (does it count to put it on a blog?)

20. Finally, you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard this conversation: " You wanna coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper!" (I'm not a soft drink person)
