You know you're from Texas when..

IF YOURE FROM TEXAS......

*You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Waxahachie, Palestine, Decatur, Wichita Falls, San Antonio, Mexia, Waco, and Amarillo.(don't forget Brazoria, Houston, Aransas Pass, Bastrop, and Karnack!)....Or Knippa or Uvalde!

*A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

*You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

*You know that the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.

*You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

*You measure distance in minutes.

*Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.

*You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

*You know cowpies are not made of beef.

*Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date

*You have known someone who has had at least one belt buckle bigger than your fist.

*You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store. (Ever hear of Kevin Fowlers- Beer,Bait, and Ammo?)

*A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Chevy 3500 4x4 is....or even better F350 King Ranch Edition

*You know everything goes better with Ranch Dressing.

*You actually get these jokes and are "fixin' " to send them to your friends.

*You go to the river/lake because you think it is like going to theocean.

*You go to the gas station and there is a sign in the window that reads, "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service!"

*Your family pet is the stray dog with one leg that came limping up to your door.

*You say "Up-air" when you are refering to a place "Over there".

*Why throw away empty jar glasses, when you can just drink from them!

*Finally, you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard this conversation: "You wanna coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper."
