100% Oklahoman

You are 100% Oklahoman if:

  • You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo, Okemah, and Chickasha.

  • You think that people who complain about the wind in their states are sissies.

  • A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.

  • Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a tractor on the highway.

  • You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.

  • 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.

  • Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.

  • You see people wear bib overalls at funerals.

  • You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.

  • You measure distance in minutes. ("I'm about 5 minutes away.")

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

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

  • Little Smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.

  • You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean.

  • You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.

  • You know cow-pies are not made of beef.

  • Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

  • You have known someone who has had one belt buckle bigger than your fist.

  • A bad traffic jam involves two cars staring each other down at a four- way stop, each determined to be the most polite and let the other go first.

  • You know in which state "Miam-uh" is and in which state "Miam-ee" is.

  • You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, and bait all in the same store.

  • Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it.

  • A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F350 4x4 is.

  • You know everything goes better with Ranch.

  • You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.

  • You actually get these jokes and are "fixin" to send them to your friends.

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