Well That Didn't Work

YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM TEXAS IF...
1. You measure distance in hours. (For instance: Lubbock is 8 hours from Houston - who knows how many miles it is.)
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. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, or animal.
5. You install security locks on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
6. You only own four spices: salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco.
7. You think sexy lingerie is a tee shirt and boxer shorts.
8. The local paper covers national and international news on one page but requires six pages for sports.(high school football is of utmost importance)
9. You find 90 degrees F "a little warm."
10. You know whether another Texan is from southern, middle, or northern Texas as soon as they open their mouth.
11. You know what a Luby's Cafeteria is.
12. There is a Dairy Queen in every town with a population of 1000 or more.
13. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good chili weather.
14. Your classes were cancelled because of one mm of snow. (i.e. cold weather)
15. You can easily identify Poison Ivy
16. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola, or pop ... it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor. (For example: "Welcome to the steak house, what kind of coke can I get you?")

These are so ridiculously true...ya'll that aren't from Texas might not get the humor in all of 'em and that's a real shame. Anyway, I'm visiting my grandparents back in Texas for a week. Its amazing how much I miss this place. People think its all just a bunch of desert, but its so much more...I'll be posting pictures when I get home...well, I haven't slept in over 30+ hours now, so I'm going to try to get some sleep. G'night prairie dogs...
