1.. You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo, Okemah, Sapulpa and Chickasha .
2. You think that people who complain about the wind in their states are sissies.
3.. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.
4. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.
5. You've ever had a switch from "heat" to "A/C" and back to "heat" in the same day.
6. 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.
7. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.
8. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.
9. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
10. You measure distance in time and not miles.
11. You refer to the capital of Oklahoma as "The City."
12. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who
died in an airplane crash.
13. Little smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.

16. You know cow pies are not made of beef.
17. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.
18. You have known someone who has had one belt buckle bigger than your fist.
19. A bad traffic jam involves two cars staring each other down at a four-way stop,
each determined to be the most polite and let the other go first.
20. You know which state Miam-uh is in, and in which state Miam-ee is.
21. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait
all in the same store.
22. Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it.
23. A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F350 4X4 is.
24. You know everything goes better with Ranch.
25. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned to multiply.
26. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin" to send them to your friends.
