Advice for Anyone Moving to Texas
Save all bacon grease. You will be instructed later how to use it.
If you do run your car into a ditch, don’t panic. Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don’t try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This is what they live for.
Remember: “Y’all” is singular. “All y’all” is plural. “All y’all’s” is plural possessive.
Get used to the phrase “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity”. And the collateral phrase “You call this hot? Wait’ll August.”
Don’t tell us how you did it up there. Nobody cares.
A Mercedes-Benz is not a status symbol, a Chevy, Dodge, or Ford is.
If someone says they’re “fixin” to do something, that doesn’t mean anything’s broken.
The value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but the availability of shade is.
If you see a slower moving vehicle on a two lane road pull onto the shoulder that is called “courtesy”.
BBQ is a food group. It does NOT mean grilling burgers and hot dogs outdoors.
Everything is better with Ranch dressing.
“Bless your Heart” is a nice way of saying you’re an idiot.
