You Might Be From Oklahoma If You..........

YOU MIGHT BE FROM OKLAHOMA IF YOU.........

1. Have more deer hunting pictures in your cell phone than photos of your kids/grandkids
(Deer hunting is very big in OK. Kids and wives often join Dad to bring home a 10 pointer)

2. Believe Texas should be expelled from the UN
(Texas is almost a bad word in OK.)
3. Are certain Pretty Boy Floyd was seen by a relative
(He was a Robin Hood crook during the time of Bonnie and Clyde)
4. Start a petition to make Noodling an Olympic sport
(Noodling is catching catfish---big catfish with bare hands) 
5. Believe the long drought can only be broken by a 365 day State Fair
(It always seems to rain during the State Fair)
6. Think Okra should be the National Vegetable
(I can't stand boiled Okra--most Okies love it!)

7. Believe Will Rogers should be post-humously knighted by Queen Elizabeth
(Will is Oklahoma's most famous and best loved favorite son)
8. Know for sure the Gaint Catfish story at the Ten Killer Dam is 100 percent correct
(Short version---Leak in Dam. Divers went down to inspect. Resurfaced because the catfish were too large.)
9. Believe the hymn "Plant my feet on higher ground" is the State Song of Colorado
(Colorado with high mountains is a favorite vacation spot for Okies)

10. Think the the 3 "R's" stand for Rod, Reel and Rifle
(Okies love the the great outdoors)
