Common Misconceptions about Texas
* That everything is twice as big in Texas. - Really
everything is 1.865 times bigger, but we round up.
* That the women have big hair. - In fact this was outlawed
in July 1977. There is a task force and they are doing their
best to reach every last woman. Bear with us.
* That Texas gets extremely hot in the summer. - Actually
we only have 2-3 days of real heat in Texas ... real heat being
when there is over a 75% probability of self-combustion.
* That JR Ewing still lives here. - That was a tv show people!
Come on! Chuck Norris, on the other hand, is a real,
karate-choppin' Texas Ranger.
* That we have killer bees, fire ants, gigantic roaches and
mosquitoes and other awful insects, tornadoes, hurricanes, and
damaging hailstorms. - I don't know where this pack of hysteria
got started, but we're gonna assume it's from some non-Texan type.
We tend to think of them as a few bitty bugs and a bad hair day.
* That everyone speaks with a Texas accent. - Y'all just
don't know what y'all are talking about.
