1. Your storage unit comes with a few dead scorpions and a live 10-inch centipede.
2. In every gas station you will hear blaring love-sick cowboy western music over the speakers.
3. If you stop in any small town McDonald's, you will find at least one really old farmer in a cowboy hat. He might even tip his hat to you if you don't look like you just drove in from New York or California.

6. THE MEXICAN FOOD ROCKS!!!!
7. There isn't a restaurant that doesn't serve jalapeños as a condiment.
8. Everybody says, "Howdy" (the informal version of "Hi") as a greeting. What else would you expect of the "Friendship State"?

10. If you break down, it only takes about five minutes and an ex-marine wearing a cowboy hat and driving a "Superduty, fully-loaded 350 Big Dooley" will arrive on the scene with a tow chain to assist you. He won't let you pay him for his help, either.

16. Fire ants consider your flesh as a picnic.
17. Fixinto is one word.
18. A carbonated soft drink isnt a soda, cola, or pop .. its a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor. You think that Dr. Pepper is the best damn coke in the world.
