it's amazing how true this is...
Subject: Oklahomans
The top 10 ways (and a few extras to boot!) to know you are from Oklahoma:
1. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplane crash.
2. You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Tecumseh, Okemah and
Chickasha.
3. 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.
4 . You understand the difference between 3.2 and 6 point and more than onceyou've made a beer run to another state.
5. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and
look for a funnel.
6. You are 100% Oklahoman if you have ever had this conversation:? "You wanna Coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper."
7. "Vacation" means going to the family reunion.
8. You've seen all the biggest bands ten years after they were popular.
9. You measure distance in minutes.
10. You use fix as a verb.? Example: "I am fixin' to go to the
store".
A FEW OTHERS:
The local paper covers national and international headlines on one
page, but requires 6 pages for sports.
You find 90 degrees F "a little warm."
You know all 4 seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas.
You actually "get" these jokes and forward them to all your friends
from Oklahoma.
i am guilty of all these, particularly #5. i still haven't seen one. :scream:
