YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM OKLAHOMA IF:

1. You measure distance in minutes.

8. You only own four spices: salt, pepper, Tabasco and ketchup.

9. The local papers cover national and international news on one page but require 6 pages for local gossip and sports.

10. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.

11. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit "a little warm"

12. You know all four seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, still Summer and Christmas.

13. You know whether another okie is from, north or south as soon as they open their mouth.

14. Going to Wal-mart is a favorite past time known as "goin' Wal-martin" .

15. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good pinto-bean weather.

16. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola or pop. it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor.

Example: "What kinda coke you want?"

17. Fried catfish is the other white meat.

18. We don't need no stinking driver's ed....if our mama says we can drive, we can drive.

19. You understand these jokes and forward them to your friends from Oklahoma (and those who just wish they were).

Not EVERYONE can be an okie, it's an art form and a gift from God!

Hey, I have an Okie/Aggie joke!

Q: What happens when an Aggie moves to Oklahoma from Texas?

A: The average IQ in BOTH states goes up.

:D Must admit, I'd heard the Texas version as well (but then again I'm from Texas). Always love a good Aggie joke, being a Baylor brat, myself!!

Yep, Okiegurl, I gotta say that I've heard them all applied to Texas. And I've heard tons of Aggie jokes down here too . . . the same "jokes" can have "blonde" or "Polack" substituted (apologies to any Polish ppl here, but I have Polish friends from the Chicago area and that's what they said).

Oh, and the Aggie joke about Texas and OK??? I've heard the same one applied to Arkansas . . . I was born/grew up there . . . I didn't exactly beat to Texas as fast as I could to redeem myself, but being able to find a good job did factor in to that departure . . . I definitely didn't want to work plucking chickens!!
