PRLog (Press Release) - Nov. 12, 2012 - Need a little help trying to understand what those Texans are talking about?  Or are you "fixinto" tawk like a Texan?  Texas is a state that we highly love and respect, which is why we only appreciate the good, clean Texas jokes that are both a little funny and a little true. We thought you might enjoy some tips on how to speak Texan and a couple good one-liners that are being passed around to pass along yourself this weekend:

- You know you’re in Texas when…The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
- You know you’re in Texas when…The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.

- You know you’re in Texas when…The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly.

- You know you’re from Texas if… You’ve ever had to switch from “heat” to “A/C” in the same day.

- You know you’re from Texas if… You use “fix” as a verb. Example: I am fixing to go buy Texas themed snacks from Texas Treats!

- “Saw a dog chasing a jackrabbit out in West Texas one day and it was so hot they both were walking.”
