Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about folks from Texas...

If someone in a Loew's store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you may live in Texas;

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Texas;

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

If 'Vacation' means going anywhere south of Dallas for the weekend, you may live in Texas;

If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Texas;

If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Texas;

If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in Texas;

If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Texas;

If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph and everyone is going 80, you may live in Texas;

If the speed limit on the highway is 55mph...you're going 80 and everybody's passing you, you ARE in Houston, Texas;

If you find 60 degrees 'a little chilly,' you may live in Texas;

If you actually understand these jokes, you definitely live in Texas.

I lived in Texas for 4 years. When I was diving down the highway there were cars moving in the emergency lane I noted they were older adults when I got to my sisters asked her why these people where driving in the emergency lane she said they think its their slow lane

I understand them all.
Here's another one.

If your wife tells you to go check on her cake that's in the oven while she's changing the water pump on the pick up, you may live in Texas.
(My daughter did that with her ex)

I praise and bless all women...especially Texas women.

P.S. You knew this, but you need to hang onto Mrs. B...she's a keeper

Hopefully, she'll hang onto you.

Howdy slatt.

I happen to be in Houston now.

We're rained out and hanging out at our hotel today.

Many areas of the city flooded overnight.

Cowboys boots and hats come in handy on days like this.

And any true Texan never travels without an ample supply of Neatsfoot oil.

Happy Trails..........................Y'all. !

Continue to travel safely, Wolf. While in the Houston area, go down to Brazos Bend State Park and feed the gators.

I hope more than anything that she'll hang on to me! As long as it isn't by the throat, that is!

I've already seen three down at Armond Bayou.

They interrupted our fishing last Friday evening.

They're doing a pretty good job of feeding themselves.

I made Austin my home for close to forty years. There is much to love about the city as well as the Texas Hill Country.

As you are aware, my grandson is a native Texan and resides in Austin. I still remember the tour you arranged for him, my daughter and myself to LBJ's library.

I'm afraid to ask what she asks/says. I guess this is one of the times when ignorance is bliss.
