If someone in a Lowe's store offers you assistance and they don't workthere, you may live in Texas ; If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Texas ; If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed awrong number, you may live in Texas ; If 'Vacation' means going anywhere south of Dallas for the weekend, you maylive in Texas ; If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Texas ; If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may livein Texas ;

If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave bothunlocked, you may live in Texas ; If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them,you may live in Texas ; If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph --you're going 80 andeverybody's passing you, you may live in Texas ; If you find 60 degrees 'a little chilly,' you may live in Texas ; If you actually understand these jokes, and share them with all your Texasfriends, you definitely live in Texas .
