jumpergirl 0 #27 April 4, 2005 Oh yes!! The people I work with give me such a hard time about it!! We generally take turns picking up lunch and when they ask me what I want to drink they have learned to ask, "What KIND of Coke do you want?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpergirl 0 #29 April 4, 2005 My warehouse foreman just ran to the store. He asked me if I wanted something and I said no. I just called and said, "I changed my mind." He asked what I wanted and I said, "A Coke." He said, "A regular Coke?" I had to make sure the training is working properly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpergirl 0 #33 April 4, 2005 When I ask people here how far someplace is they tell me "### miles." Then I have to ask again, "How long will it take me to get there?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgm458 0 #42 April 5, 2005 I was travelling through Texas awhile back going to a boogie and it was laaaate...about 4 AM when I arrived. Got pulled over three times by local "constables" (sheriff to non-Texans) because of a light out. Last one gave me directions to a Wal Mart (N-E-S-W and in minutes of course). Got to Wamalart and bought my light, went out to the truck and installed it. Saw a receipt there lying on the ground that I thought was mine so I picked it up. It wasn't mine, but only in the south can you buy the stuff on this receipt without getting the cops called It had two shotguns, ammo out the wazzoo, and six CASES of beer. I really do love TX (I live in OK). The longhorns (OU's JV team) just gave Bob Stoops' bytch a contract extension last year. That's at least one guaranteed win for every year through I think 2012.-------------------------------------------------- Failure to prepare is preparing to fail Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #46 April 5, 2005 Quote Yep!! "I'll have a Coke" "A Coke Coke or a Pepsi Coke?" Uh oh... I think the Californians have finally trained me to say "soda" instead of "coke". And I have also started saying "you guys" more than I say "y'all"... though I purposely say "y'all" ever once in a while just to remind everyone that I am a Texan. But they will never train me to eat what they blasphemously refer to as brisket over here, or to eat that horrible tri-tip stuff. I just ordered some more brisket to be shipped from Texas... it's about time for my regular fix. ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
