Living In Texas

We love living in Texas, and can’t help but see a little truth behind Jeff Foxworthy’s description of 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 is passing you, you may live in Texas

If you find 60 degrees “a little chilly”, you may live in Texas
