Texan
Rules for Yankees
RULE 1: Don't order
a steak at a Waffle House. They serve breakfast 24 hours a day. Let them
cook something they know.
RULE 2: Don't laugh
at folks' names. Merleen, Bodie, Luther Ray, Tammy, Mari Beth, Marva,
Edna Earl, and Inez have been known to whip a man's butt for less than
that.
RULE 3: Don't order
a bottle of pop or a can of soda; this can lead to a beating. Down here
it's called Coke, even if you want a Pepsi, Sprite, or Dr. Pepper. Got
it?
RULE 4: Texas women
don't fancy the smart mouth Yankees. Just remember, they all have Big
brothers and Bigger daddies.
RULE 5: Don't show
allegiances to any other school football team but the Longhorns or Aggies.
All the others are a bunch of candy asses who play Wyoming every week.
RULE 6: Don't call
us a bunch of hicks. Most of us are better educated than you and a whole
lot nicer to boot. We just talk that way to piss you off.
RULE 7: Yes, we
know the humidity is high; just quit complaining, spend your money, and
go home.
RULE 8: No, the
state symbol of TEXAS is not the orange and white highway barrel. This
road construction is ticking us off too.
RULE 9: Don't go
to the Cracker Barrel and order toast. If you do this, everyone will know
you're from Nebraska. Just eat the biscuits like GOD meant for you to
do. And do not order poached eggs. No one from the Texas eats eggs poached.
RULE 10: Don't try
to talk with a Texas accent if you don't have one or use regional idioms
you can't possibly understand. Nothing makes us madder.
RULE 11: Don't be
telling everybody how much better it was back home. We're not going to
change to make you happy. So if you don't like it here, Delta is ready
when you are!
RULE 12: Our food
isn't overcooked; yours is undercooked.
RULE 13: Down here,
"Kiss my ass" is a perfectly acceptable way to close an argument. You
can't get more closure than that.
RULE 14: Flirting
is a Texas tradition. It doesn't mean you're going home with someone later.
It doesn't mean the person flirting with you is even interested. It's
all just practice.
Rule 15: Take your
hat off when you say the words "Tom Landry."
