You Might Be An Okie

My apologies in advance to whoever I stole this from, (I usually make a note
when I do that,) if they were yours in the first place, take heart, I thought
them funny enough to pinch ‘em.

I thought it only fair to add these so it wouldn’t seem I was pickin’ on
redneck’s, I seem to recall I posted about Californians a while back too.


You might be an Okie if...

1. ~ You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Okemah, and Chickasha.

2. ~ You think that people who complain about the wind in their states
are sissies.

3. ~ A tornado-warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look
for a funnel.

4. ~ Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on
the highway.

5. ~ You’ve ever had to switch from “heat’ to “A/C’ in the same day.

6. ~ 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.

wedding date.

18. ~ You have known someone who has had one belt buckle bigger than

21. ~ You aren’t surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all
in the same store.

22. ~ Your “place at the lake” has wheels under it.

“Dr. Pepper.”
