You know you're from Oklahoma if:

1. You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo, Okemah, Wetumka 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 to switch from "heat" to "A/C" 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 use "fix" as a verb. Example: I am fixing to go to the store.

11. You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer,
and Christmas.

12. You measure distance in minutes.

13. You refer to the capital of Oklahoma as "The City".

14. It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in
an airplane crash.

15. You actually get these jokes and tell them to your friends.

Finally, you are 100% Oklahoman if you have ever had this
conversation:"You wanna coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper."



On another note...I will be out of town until Sunday. If you need anything please get with my sidekick Gabe at wegcash dot com!

Well Tonda you must be a native Okie if you know the culture this well. Although most of us here don't wear bib overall's to funerals anymore most of those guys are already dead and buried in their bib overalls
