sonshine from the land of the blazing sun

Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about folks from TX:

If someone in a Lowe's store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you may live in TX. [btdt but it was a Builder's Square]

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in TX. [or be visiting Mt Hood in OR]

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in TX.

If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of Dallas for the weekend, you may live in TX. [used to be on weekends Aggies would drive home if it took less than 8 hrs]

If you measure distance in hours, you may live in TX. [and you can't count them on just your fingers!]

If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in TX. [does he mean the same deer?]

If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in TX. [but not in Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, ...]

If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in TX. [my boss once gave me a set of jumper cables in Houston]

If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody is passing you, you may live in TX. [or GA -- the difference is that GA people don't know what "merge" means]

If you find 60 degrees "a little chilly", you may live in TX.

If you actually understand these jokes, and forward them to all your TX friends & others, you definitely live inTX. [or in the case of my children and one of the grandchildren, born there]
