The Way We Are.....
You are 100% Oklahoman if
1. You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo, Okemah, Hobart , Battiest, Optima, Vici, Dougherty, Achille and Chickasha .
2. You think that people who complain about the wind in their states are sissies.
3. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.
4. Your idea of a traffic jam is ten cars waiting to pass a combine on the highway.
5. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" and back again in the same day.
6. 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.
7. Stores don't have bags, they have sacks.
8. You see people wear bib overalls at funerals, and sometimes one of them is in the casket.
9. You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
10. You measure distance in minutes. ("I'm about 5 minutes away.")
11. You refer to the capital of Oklahoma as "The City."
12. It doesn't bother you to use either of two airports named for men who died in an airplane crash.
13. Little smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.
14. You go to the lake because you think it is like going to the ocean, but without Jaws.
15. You listen to the weather forecast before picking out an outfit.
16. You know cowpies are not made of beef.
17. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.
18. You have known someone who has had more than one belt buckle bigger than your fist..
19. 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.
20. You know in which state "Miam-uh" is and in which state "Miam-ee" is.
21. You aren't surprised to find movie rental, ammunition, a cappuccino machine and live bait all in the same store.
22. Your "place at the lake" has wheels under it.
23. A Mercedes Benz is not a status symbol. A Ford F350 4x4 is.
24. You know everything goes better with Ranch dressing and sweet tea.
25. You learned how to shoot a gun before you learned how to multiply.
26. You actually get these jokes and are "fixin" to send them to your friends.
27. Finally, you are 100% Oklahoman if you have ever heard this conversation:
"You wanna Coke?"
"Yeah."
"What kind?"
"Dr Pepper."

Some of these fit the U.P. of Michigan too! ha
Haha. I felt better when I got to the end and it was suddenly ok that I didn't get some of the jokes ... because I'm not even close to being an Oklahoma person. Phew! :-)
At least you're from a proud state. For the longest time, people outside of California felt that we're just an embarrassing bunch of liberal, wanton, boneheaded, crazed Californians. How dare them call me "liberal"!
Um, is there any chance you could spell-out 'Eufaula' phonetically, because I haven't got a clue..
Joe, granny says:
Eufaula - U fall uh
Ah yes, I follow. Thanks! :)
Thanks!
