    You're from Texas if...

    You can properly pronounce Palestine, Decatur, Nacogdoches, Wichita Falls, Guadalupe, Mexia, Waco, Manchaca, Buda and Amarillo.

    You think that people who complain about the wind in their states are sissies.

    A tornado-warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look up in the sky for a funnel.

    You have 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 its distance to the door, but by its availability of shade.

    Stores do not have bags, they have sacks.

    You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

    Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.

    You go to the lake because it is like going to the ocean.

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

    You know cow pies are not something you eat.

    Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan his or her wedding date.

    You know someone who has a belt buckle bigger than your fist.

    You are not surprised to find a movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store.

    A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F350 4x4 is.

    You know everything goes better with Ranch.

    You actually get these jokes and are “fixin' to” send them to “all ya’lls” friends.

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

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

    "Yeah."
    "What kind?"
    "Dr. Pepper”


    No self respecting southern man would drink Dr. Pecker.

    I drink Dr Pepper... only cause I cant find RC Cola anymore.

    Jim... that list would fit way across OK and about halfway up Kansas too.

    I drink Dr. Pepper - but I prefer the kind that's sweetened with Pure Cane Sugar - as opposed to the High Fructose kind.

    There IS a difference. It's in the taste.

    Texan is walking down a Farm to Market (FM) road in the middle of the day. He has a burlap bag over his shoulder.

    After several miles he meets another Texan on the road heading the opposite way.

    "hey, what ya got in that gunney sack? the second asks the first.

    "In this here sack?" drawls the first," I got 6 rabbits" and he continues, "but if you can guess how many I got...why I'll give ya half!"

    "TWO!"

    Gotta love Texas!
