- Texan men have a lot of guns.
- Texan men like to shoot their guns.
- Texan men know a lot about their guns.
- It is hot in
- You should not mess with men named, “Buzz.”
- Texans are some of the kindest people I have met.
- Delta must be owned by Air
Welcome back, Paul! We missed you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your assessment of Texan men. We travel to Texas once a year to visit my father, and I do enjoy the cultural differences.
Although it wasn't until I made a business trip to Houston that I realized there really are such things as V-10 diesel pickup trucks. You could tow my house down the highway with once of those!
The gun culture is a bit shocking to my delicate Canadian sensibilities, but I'd love to try skeet shooting someday. Did you have a chance?
And truly, Texans are indeed some of the kindest people I've ever met as well. Their neighbourliness, their relaxed chatting with strangers, are breaths of fresh air.
So, how y'all doin' today?
Whups, maybe I'm caught out here. My colleague's truck was a V-10, but I guess it was gas, not diesel.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't custom, and it wasn't a Volkswagon (that's funny, though).
PS: I drive a Toyota Corolla also, but I do have a pellet rifle. Does that count?
Tomgee - It may not count in Texas unless it's at least a .45.
ReplyDeletemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....God Bless Texas!
ReplyDeleteAnd no, as a native Texas myself, I will go ahead and tell you that a Toyota Corolla and a pellet gun do not count. Unless of course the Corolla is up on blocks in the front yard, and you're shooting squirrels with your pellet gun from your kitchen window.
