You know you're an Oklahoman when ...
For all the other Okies out there in cyberspace, originally posted by Tulsa Topics, via Stop The ACLU:
You know you're an Oklahoman when...
- You can properly pronounce Kiowa, Muskogee, Nowata, Pushmataha, Pottawatomie, Sapulpa, and Ouachita. (I would add "Miami" - ed)
- A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.
- You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
- 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.
- Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.
- You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.
- You measure distance in minutes.
- Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.
- You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.
- You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.
- You know cowpies are not made of beef.
- Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date. (This IS true! - ed)
- You have known someone who has had a belt buckle bigger than your fist.
- You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store.
- Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it.
- A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol; a Ford F350 4x4 is.
- You know everything goes better with Ranch dressin'.
- You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.
- You actually understand this and you are "fixin' to" send it to your friends.
- Finally, you are 100% Oklahoman if you have ever heard this conversation: "You wanna coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper!"
Great reccomendation about Miami! The list has been modified.
