You know you're from Oklahoma if:
1. You can properly pronounce the names of these towns -- Eufaula, Gotebo, Okemah, Chickasha, & Oologah.
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.
7. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.
8. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.
9. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
10. You use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixing to go to the store.
11. You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas.
12. You measure distance in minutes.
13. You refer to the capital of Oklahoma as "The City".
14. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplane crash.
15. You actually get these jokes and tell them to your friends.
16. Finally, you are 100% Oklahoman if you have ever had this
conversation: "You wanna coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr. Pepper."
well somebody sent this to me a few years ago and it just came back to me again . . . somewhat edited but similar . . .
