How To Tell If You're An Okie
It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplane crash (Will Rogers).
You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Tecumseh, Okemah and Chickasha.
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.
You understand the difference between 3.2 and 6 point, & you've made a beer run to another state.
A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.
If you have ever had this conversation: "You wanna Coke?" "Yeah." "What kind?" "Dr. Pepper."
"Vacation" means going to the family reunion or a pow-wow.
You've seen all the biggest bands ten years after they were popular.
You measure distance in minutes.
You use fix as a verb. Example: "I am fixin' to go to the store".
You think sexy lingerie is a tee shirt and boxer shorts.
The local paper covers national and international headlines on one page, but requires 6 pages for sports.
You find 90 degrees F "a little warm."
You know all 4 seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas.
You actually "get" these jokes and forward them to all your friends from Oklahoma.
_______________________________________________________________________
I saw this and thought to myself...OMG...I relate to ALL of these!
I'm an Okie...accent and all.
Take my heart and soul. But please don't step on it, it breaks easily.

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.
Grow old with me, the best is yet to be.

I'm not there anymore, but I can relate to all of them. But you didn't mention anything about knowing the BC Clark Anniversary song!  |

Wolfie, here's a link you can cut and paste if you want to see what I'm talking about - http://www.bcclark.com/BCClarkCommercialHigh/p/4366/Default.aspx
And you can read about it here:
http://www.bcclark.com/HistoryoftheJingle/p/4112/Default.aspx
I won't put in a click-on link because I don't think they'd appreciate it.  |

XD I'm sure they'd LOVE a sudden peak of traffic from a spanking site :D
Is that why we're not allowed to do clicky links? *sudden realisation* |

As an Okie...born and bred...my accent is very much the Oklahoma drawl. I'm quite popular in the pubs here tho!! "Say something!" they say to me. So I look at them and say..."Something!" (I'm so bad)
At my age, no matter how long I live in the UK, I don't think I'll ever lose my accent.
I probably should have also included being able to sing the "Boomer Sooner" song as well! And I HATE sports! (except the "indoor" kind...tee hee)
Or mentioning the similarities to Jeff Foxworthy's "Your're a Redneck if...."
Take my heart and soul. But please don't step on it, it breaks easily.
