Homesick Jokes
For those of you who are 1000s of miles away from home (or hometown), I figured maybe a little bit of joking around would bring back some good memories. I'm from Texas, so here is a joke list about Texas for all yall who originated in the Lonestar State! Please feel free to post your own as I know humor can ease the sharp edge of the occasional homesickness!
YOU KNOW YOUR FROM TEXAS WHEN... *You can properly pronounce Corsicana, Ennis, Waxahachie, Palestine, Decatur, Wichita Falls, San Antonio, Waco, and Amarillo. *You know that Dallas & Fort Worth are two different cities. *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. *You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent. *You measure distance in minutes. *Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions. *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. *You have known someone who has had one belt buckle bigger than your fist. *You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store. *A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Chevy 3500 4x4 is. *You know everything goes better with Ranch. *You go to the river/lake because you think it is like going to the ocean. *You go to the gas station and there is a sign in the window that reads, "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service!" *Your family pet is the stray dog with one leg that came limping up to your door. *You say "Up-their" when you are refering to a place "Over there". * You say "yall" as if it was normal. *You get made fun of for the way you talk. *People always ask you if you own a horse and ride it to school. *You get asked if you say "howdy" *The weather can be sunny one day...rainy another and snowy the next. *You actually get these jokes and are "fixin' " to send them to your friends. *Finally you are 100% Texan if you have ever heard this conversation: "You wanna coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper." |
