2. Let’s get this
straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when it’s red. We may even
stop when it’s yellow.
3. It’s called a
‘gravel road’. I drive a pickup truck because I need to.
4. No matter how slow you drive, you’re going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
5. They are pigs,
cattle, and oil wells. That’s what they smell like to you. They smell like money
to us. Get over it. Don’t like it? I-40 and I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes
north and south. Pick one.
6. So you have a
sixty-thousand dollar car. We’re real impressed. We have quarter-million dollar
cotton strippers that we drive three weeks a year.
7. So every person
in every pickup waves. It’s called being friendly. Try to understand the
concept.
8. Trucks are made
to get dirty. Don’t bring your Eddie Bauer Limited Edition to my hunting camp
and expect to leave clean on Sunday. It won’t happen.
9. We all started
hunting and fishing when we were nine years old. Yeah, well if that cell phone
rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we will shoot it out of your hand.
You better hope you don’t have it up to your ear at the time.
10. Go ahead and
bring your $800 Orvis Fly Rod. Don’t cry to us if a flat-head breaks it off at
the handle.
11. We have a name
for that little 13-inch trout you fish for - bait.
12. Yeah, we eat
catfish, carp, and crawdads. You really want sushi and caviar? It’s available
at the corner bait shop.
13. The “Opener”
refers to the first day of deer season. It’s a religious holiday held the
closest Saturday to the first of November.
14. Any references
to “corn fed” when talking about our women will get you jack-slapped, by our
women.
16. Our women are
some of the best looking in the country.We open doors for women. That applies
to everyone regardless of age.
17. No, there’s no
“Vegetarian Special” on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Or, you can order
the Chef’s Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey.
18. When we fill out
a table there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables,and breads. We use three
spices - salt, pepper, and Tabasco Sauce.
19. You bring
“Coke” into my house it better be brown, wet, served over ice, and plenty of
it. You bring “Mary Jane” to my house she better be cute, know how to shoot,
drive a truck, and have long hair.
20. Yeah, we have
sweet tea. It comes in a glass with two packets of sugar, some lemon, and a
long spoon.
21. That’s right.
Whiskey is only two bucks. We can buy a fifth for what you paid for that shot
in the airport at New York, Boston,
Chicago, or L.A.
22. High School Football is as important here as the Lakers
and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
24. Colleges? Try Texas A&M. They come
out of there with an education and a love for God and country, and they still
wave at passing pickups when they come home for the holidays.
25. We have more
Navy, Army, Marines, and Air Force than any other state, so, “Don’t Mess With
Texas”. If you do it will get your butt kicked by the best!
26. Our Military is
only used as a back up. Per capita, each man, woman, and child owns at least
two firearms and has taken a NRA Certified Shooter Education Course.
27. Also, remember
what Governor Sam Houston once said, “Texas
can make it without the United States,
but the United States can’t
make it without Texas
