You might be from Oklahoma if...

You might be from Oklahoma if...

1. You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo, Okemah, and
Chickasha. (yes, but I've never heard of Gotebo...hmm)

2. You think that people who complain about the wind in their
states are sissies. (definitely - and mosquitoes)


3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard
and look for a funnel. (of course, it's never close enough at that time to hurt you, and how many you've seen is like notches on your belt for Oklahomans, I've seen three, I missed the year when we had like, 60 or something)

4. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor
on the highway. (yes, or only two)

5. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day. (yes, and boy does my dad hate that)

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. (oh yes, it's a matter of whether you want to be able to drive your car again or not when you get back)

7. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks. (haha, true)

8. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals. (quite possible, haven't been to a funeral, should ask my mom)

9. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent. (yes)

10. You measure distance in minutes. (yes)

11. You refer to the capital of Oklahoma as "The City." (yes, when I'm in Oklahoma)

12. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who
died in an airplane crash. (obviously not, I love that airport)

13. Little smokies are something you serve only for special
occasions. (yes)

14. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the
ocean. (yes)

15. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an
outfit. (when I'm in Oklahoma, but it's more accurate to go outside and check first)

16. You know cowpies are not made of beef. (I think everyone knows that...)

17. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their
wedding date. (yes, you have to in Oklahoma...not only weddings, everything)

18. You have known someone who has had one belt buckle bigger than
your fist. (yes, dozens)

19. A bad traffic jam involves two cars staring each other down at
a four-way stop, each determined to be the most polite and let the
other go first. (often)

20. You know in which state Miam-uh is and in which state Miam-ee
is. (duh, and don't you forget it!)

21. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and
bait all in the same store. (nope)

22. Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it. (no, we never had an RV or a mobile home, weird like that, haha)

23. A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F350 4x4 is. (of course, if we see a Mercedes, we're like, ooh, out-of-state)

24. You know everything goes better with Ranch. (that's our motto at school, seriously)

25. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin" to send them to
your friends. (just ripped this off my sister, don't know where she got it)

Finally, you are 100% Oklahoman if you have ever heard this conversation:

"You wanna coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr. Pepper."
(too many times)

Why am I not working?!!
