My friend was searching the internet for information on Texas, and this is what she found...

Armadillos sleep in the middle of the road with their feet in the air.

People actually grow and eat okra.

There is no such thing as 'lunch.'
There is
only dinner and then supper.

Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when
you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar!

'Backwards and forwards' means I know
everything about you!

Djeet is actually a phrase meaning 'Did you eat?'

You don't have to wear a watch because it doesn't matter what time it
is. You work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH them.

You measure distance in hours. Like it's 6 hours from Houston to
Dallas .

You'll probably have to switch from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day.

You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both
unlocked.

You carry jumper cables in your car . . . for your OWN car.

The local papers cover national and international news on one page,
but require 6 pages for local gossip and sports.

We have four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, still Summer and
Christmas.

Going to Wal-mart is a favorite past time known as 'goin' to
Wally-World.'

A cool snap (below 70 degrees) is good pinto-bean weather.

A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola or pop. .. . . it's a Coke,
regardless of brand or flavor.
Example:
'What kind a coke you want?'

Fried catfish is the other white meat.

We don't need no stinking driver's ed . .. .
if our mama says we can drive, we can drive.

If you understand these jokes please forward them to your friends from
Texas (and those who just wish they were).

EVERYONE can't be from Texas .
You might say it's a gift from God!
