Rules For Entering Texas

Guidelines for travel in Texas

Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an Idiot.

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.

It’s called a ‘gravel road’. I drive a pickup truck because I need to.

No matter how slow you drive, you’re going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

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.

So you have a sixty-thousand dollar care. We’re real impressed. We have quarter-million dollar cotton strippers that we drive three weeks a year.

So every person in every pickup waves. It’s called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

Trucks are made to get dirty. Don’t bring your Eddie Bauer Limited Edition to my hunting camp and expect to eave clean on Sunday. It won’t happen.

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.

Go ahead and bring your $800 Orvis Fly Rod. Don’t cry to us if a flathead breaks it off the handle.

We have a name for that little 13” trout you fish for -- bait.

Yeah, we eat catfish, carp, and crawdads. You really want sushi and caviar? It’s available at the corner bait shop.

The “Opener” refers to the first day of deer season. It’s a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks -- because they want to.

Our women are some of the best looking in the country. We open doors for women. That applies to everyone regardless of age.

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.

When we fill out a table there are three main dishes: Meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and Tobasco Sauce.

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.

Yeah, we have sweet tea. It comes in a glass with two packets of sugar, some lemon, and a long spoon.

High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

Yeah, we have golf courses. Don’t hit in the water hazards; it spooks the fish.

We have more Navy, Army, Marines, and Air Force than any other state, so “Don’t Mess With Texas”

Our military is only used as a backup. Per capita, each man, woman, and child owns at least two firearms and has taken a NRA Certified Shooter Education Course.

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"

Good one. Sounds a bit like where I live. They just started expanding the town so all the people from Toronto are comming over. Rude, pushy, and a bunch of whiners. No, we don't have a big Wal-Mart, yes we only have one post office (although we used to have 3). I'm sorry if the roads are dirty and narrow, that's what you get when you elect hicks for town council.
 

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday.

That's how life goes in the Midwest as well.  It's wonderful.  It's so much more relaxing.  The country group Alabama really said it best:

I'm in a hurry to get things done,
I rush and rush until life's no fun.
All I really gotta do is live and die,
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why.
