 Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about 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's passing you, you may live in Texas 

 If you find 60 degrees 'a little chilly,' you may live in Texas 
 
 If you actually understand these jokes, and share them with all your Texas
 friends, you definitely live in Texas ..
