Texas

These are pretty funny.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN TEXAS WHEN...
.
* You can say 110 degrees without fainting.

* The temperature drops below 95, you feel a bit chilly..
.
* You discover that in July, it takes only 2 fingers to drive your car.
* You discover that you can get a sunburn through your car window.

* You notice the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
.
* It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is out on the streets.

* You actually burn your hand opening the car door...

* You break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m. before work.

* No one would dream of putting vinyl upholstery in a car or not having air conditioning...

YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM TEXAS WHEN:

* you think that the 4 basic food groups are nachos, bar-b-que, fajitas, and Copenhagen

* you know what a 'Cowboy Cadillac' is


* you'd rather own a Cowboy Cadillac than the real thing


* you have both a dog and a brother-in-law named Bud


* your local grocery store sells cactus in the Fresh Produce department


* you watch the movie Urban Cowboy and laugh at the phony Texan accents


* you choose a brand of Mexican salsa with the same care that another might use to select a bottle of fine wine


* you can tell a rock from an armadillo at 300 yards


* you know from experience that rattlesnake meat tastes like chicken )


* you use the word "dadgum" more than once in the same sentence

I've also heard you know you're in Texas when you use your heater and your air conditioner in your car on the same day!

Also you know your in Texas when you order a coke at a restruant and the waiter ask, what kind?

Coldbeer is actually one word

Fixinto is one word

You know what snip hunting and cow tipping are if you're from Texas

And the 4 seasons of Texas

1. summer
2. summer
3. still summer
4. Christmas

Hope these give you a good laugh!

Ive used the A/C and heater in the same day too, not very long ago either. Never been snipe hunting, because I overheard my brothers talking about it and knew it was a gag. I have been cow tipping though.:bbredface:

[Kacie_bride]

I've never been cow tipping either!

Sorry to be the rain cloud at the parade Texas girls, but back home in West Virignia I have used the heater and the air conditioner in the same day. Sometimes each one, more than once in the same day. I have sent poeple on a snipe hunt. Cow tipping isn't something you do on a boring Saturday night, it is a competative sport. (That is right, prim and proper city girl, Lacey, has been cow tipping, more than once! And sometimes it was the main date activity in high school after the hay ride and bonfire!)

I think those are all more just Southern things than Texas ones. Although, I have never bought fresh cactus at the grocery store. What exactly do you do with it?

I don't really know what you do with it. I've never eaten it and I've always wondered about it. I think it might be something Mexican people use to cook with.

I have seen canned cactus in the international food aisle at the grocery stores here in Pittsburgh. We don't have a really big Mexican population that I know of.

I don't know. I can't imagine it would taste good. I have gotten water out of them before from my grandmother's yard just to see if I could. I've also gotten stuck by a lot of cactus!
