A sad Texan once prayed, "I wish it would rain --not so much for me, 'cuz I've seen it -- but for my 7-year-old."
A visitor to Texas once asked, "Does it ever rain out here?" A Rancher quickly answered "Yes, it does. Do you remember that part in the Bible where it rained for 40 days and 40 nights?" The visitor replied, "Yes, I'm familiar with Noah's flood." "Well," the rancher puffed up, we got about two and a half inches of that."
You no longer associate bridges (or rivers) with water.
You eat hot chilies to cool your mouth off.
You can make instant sun tea.
