Texan Wisdom

TEXAN WISDOM
1. Never slap a man who's chewin' tobacco.
2. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad
judgment.
3. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier 'n puttin' it back in.
4. If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to
make sure it's still there.
5. If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin'
somebody else's dog around.
6. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
7. There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works.
8. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.
9. Don't squat with your spurs on.
10. It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.
11. Always drink upstream from the herd.
12. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
13. There are three kinds of people: The ones that learn by reading, The few
who learn by observation, and the rest of them who have to touch the fire to
see for themselves if it's really hot.

Will Rogers

I got a couple to add to that, but without the Texas taint -just razzin' you Texans. You're Big 12, but that's all we got in common. 8)
So anyway, on to wisdom.
-It's better being pissed off than pissed on.
-Never advise a workin' man when he's doing his work.

7. There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works.
8. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'

Those two go together

Is that Will Rogers material? If so, there doesn't have to be any Texas taint! He's an Okie.
Sweet!

Okie??????wazzat

Loved the jokes, Texas 'taint or not.
Okie? Why now, that'd be a good ole Okie from Muskokie -
for sure now!

Short for Oklahoman. Coined when many left Oklahoma to California during the Dust Bowl of the 1930's.
Now many Californians have left their own state to move here. We call them Cal-Okies.
