On a recent trip from the Ft. Worth area... and realized... only in Texas! I recalled the culture shock I went through in moving here. So here are a few of my own hill folk jokes...
- If you are certain the locals are speaking English, but you can't understand them...
- If a house is trimmed in burnt orange...
- If you watch more High School than Professional football...
- If the homecoming corsage weighs more than your date...
- If you the tumbleweed is larger than your SUV...
- If your belt buckle weighs more than your shoes...
- If you can drive all day without leaving the state...
- If you see more Rebel than US flags..
- If your jeans are so heavily starched that they hold you up...
- If your limo has long horns on the grill...
- If buying a family-friendly vehicle consists of buying a king-cab rather than a standard cab pick-up...
- And lastly the one that brought it all to mind...If you can pick up a snack for yourself and alfalfa for your livestock at the corner service station...you might be in Texas.
From a childhood memory: If your grandma gives you spoons to dig in the dirt driveway but you have to give them back for supper.
