> 1) Plenty of steers, but only met one queer.
> 2) Ford meets their sales quota for pickups in Texas.
> Everyone has either an F150, or an F350 Dually.
> No-one has the F250. Chevrolet and GMC owners are

> 3) Didn't see any gunracks in Austin, Houston, or the drive
> in between.
> 4) Even Grandma drives a dually pickup with a 30 foot horse
> trailer at 75mph in Texas.
> 5) McDonalds must be the official state restaurant.
> 6) Texas has great f#$king beef ribs, even in the crappy places.
> 7) I didn't know trailer homes/parks could be so nice.
> 8) A 50X50 yard is more than sufficient for 2 cows. They are
> natural lawn mowers, and you can apparently sell the
> fertilizer.
> 9) The only handguns I saw were owned by "tha law", and were
> pistols, not revolvers.
> 10) Tex-centric aught to be a word in the dictionary, because
> Texans believe the world revolves around the the Lone Star.
> 11) Apparently, the only reason Texas was on the losing side of
> the Civil War was b/c they had to rely on 12 other states.
> 12) Stop touching me... People like to touch you in

> 13) When I go into a store, I do not want to talk to the
> cashier until I am ready to pay. And I do not want

> 14) Realtors get insulted when you tell them "Let's move on.
> I don't like it."
> 15) What the hell is a mud tax? Please tell me they don't tax
> us on MUD?
> 16) We went into about 10 bars in Austin, saw plenty of cowboy
> hats, but not one line dancer. What gives?
>
> All tongue in cheek... Yes, there is a good possibility this New Yorker
will be moving to (gulp) Texas within the next 6 months.... How the hell am
I going to get the Midget down there...
