Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about folks from Texas ...
If someone in a Lowe'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 --you're going 80 and everybody'
s passing you, you may live in Texas;
If you find 60 degrees 'a little chilly,' you may live in Texas;
If you actually understand these jokes, and share them with all your Texas
friends, you definitely live in Texas ..
