We move to Texas 8 years ago during a big construction boom. There
were many new people moving to Texas and many bumber stickers
reflected the "local" feeling:

"Beautify Texas, Put a Yankee on the Bus"

and the very common

"SECEDE!!"

"Welcome to Texas, now go HOME"!

Now we have

"Don't Mess with Texas" from the highway cleanup campaign.
Quite good compaign with alot of Texas stars.

Obj: definitions: A damm yankee. Anyone who comes to Texas to look for
work, doesn't find any but stays anyway.
A good yankee. Anyone who comes to Texas, spends some money
then leaves.
warning maybe offensive, maybe hell I even find it somewhat offense!!!!!
A damm good yankee. Anyone who comes to Texas, spends some
money, marries a Mexican, adopts a black
child, then goes home.


One more and I'll quit and await the flames.

A young lady is not feeling well and visits her doctor. After examiniation
the doc says " well your simply pregnant" she says "but that's not possible,"
doc: "What do you mean, you do live out at the nudest colony"
lady: "Yes but we only love with our eyes."
***** Can you see it comming?
***** I bet most of you can.
doc: "Well all I can say it someone out there is sure COCKEYED!!"

**** I thought you could.

In Buda Tx, that's Be'uda, we have a street name "Goforth" we want to change an
intersecting street to be named "Multiply" Think about it.

Well the podner, you better watch out. I hear that they are splitting Alaska in
two, which will make Texas the 3rd largest state.

Also I was just reminded, by a co-worker, what the defination of a Texan is:

"A wetback that didn't make Oklahoma".

The only way Texas is beautiful is when it's framed nicely
in your rear-view mirror.

The latest ad campaign is "Texas - a whole other country"
One can only wish.

Why doesn't Texas slide into the Gulf of Mexico?

Because Oklahoma sucks.

Ain't goin to happen. But we are in the process of changing all
the political districts, and at least one member of the next state
legislature will represent an area larger than Texas.

Some years ago when we first got used to Texans coming north to work
for peanuts in the oil fields, there were quite a few jokes going
around. I can only remember a couple.

Whats a good Texan?

-- One headed south with an Oakie under each arm.

(And obviously a good Oakie is one headed south with...)

Whats the difference between a Texan an a Pig Farmer?

-- The pig farmer has shit on the outside of his boots.

(That happens to be rather funny to me because a friend of
mine grew up on his families pig farm. If you stutter on
the 'f' in 'farmer' it is really a riot to introduce someone
as a re-trained pig farmer...)

In articles various, various people variously have been telling various Texas
jokes. I think I'll join in the fun.

In one of his humor collections, H. Allen Smith told of an Oklahoma sociolo-
gist who maintained that the three things a Texan liked the most were:

1) Being seen in church.

2) Sexual gratifacation

3) Outwitting someone, preferably a close relative, in a business deal.


This opinion was formed without the sociologist ever having visited the larger
state to the south. After a good deal of work, his collegues managed to get
him to take a trip south for a few days. He did Amarillo, Dallas/Ft. Worth,
Houston and San An-tone. On the entire trip, he remained pretty quiet about
the whole thing.

He returned to the (relative) northlands, changed number two to "talking about
sexual gratifacation" and thereafter described that big cowpasture to the
south as Baja Oklahoma.

PS -- Know how many Texans it takes to eat an armadillo?

Three.

One to ingest the creature; two to stop traffic.

Why is an Alaskan similar to a wet saddle blanket?

They both tend to chap your ass after a while. =B^)

Unbelievable. Members of legislatures usually misrepresent their areas.
