You Know You're an Okie When...
...you hit a deer with your vehicle and the first person who stops asks for the carcass. This actually happened to us on 209th W Ave outside of Sand Springs.

When a suspected bomb is found in Tulsa, police fire their guns at it to see
if they can make it explode.  (I heard this on the news.)

Plus I thought this was cute, though it didn't originate with me.
1. You know the difference between the city of Durant and the city of Doo-rant.
2. It doesn't seem odd to see the term "chicken fried chicken" on a menu.
3. You have used the phrase "fixin' to" during the last 12 months
4. Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date. (particularly OU vs OSU games)
5. You save all your life for your dream vacation, and use it to go to the OU/Texas game.
6. A tornado warning siren is your signal to go out in the yard and look for a funnel.
7. It doesn't seem peculiar if your spouse says "I'm going in to town for something," even though you live in town.
8. You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo, and Okemah.
9. You can remember the last 12 times a state legislator seriously introduced a bill involving castration, and he didn't mean farm animals.
10. Until recently, you thought the "Cotton-Eye Joe" was the national anthem.
11. You don't turn on the news until 20 minutes past the hour, because that's the only thing you care about anyway.
12. You know exactly what calf fries are, and eat them anyway.
13. When someone refers to the current season, you have no idea if they mean spring, summer, fall, winter or football.
14. You can recall hot summers by the year they happened easier than you can remember your mother's birthday.
15. "Howdy" seems to be a normal way of greeting another adult, with no irony intended.
16. You think that people who complain about the wind in other states are sissies.
17. It bothers you not one bit to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplane crash.
18. A bad traffic jam involves two cars staring each other down at a four-way  stop, each determined to be the most polite and let the other go first.
19. You know in which state Miam-uh is and in which state Miam-ee is.
20. You have contemplated your last meal if the warden was to ask, and it would be gravy.
