I'm just curious as to how many Okies are on here. I've met a few spaced out here and there on this site. Now I'm calling you all out, come okie's let yourselves be counted.
Just anyone from Oklahoma don't matter the city, Tulsa, OKC, Okmulgee, Sapulpa, where ever!!
We might live in the buckle of the bible belt, but okies enjoy a good romp amiss the lit community!! *Grin*
Here's something to make you giggle...
A VISITOR'S GUIDE TO TULSA
1. First you must learn to pronounce the city name. It is TULL-SA and it does not matter how people pronounce it in other places.
2. Tulsa has its own version of traffic rules. Never forget that downtown Tulsa is composed entirely of one way streets. The only way to get out of the center of town is to turn around and start over when you reach the river.
3. All directions start with, "Go down Memorial"
4. Memorial has no beginning and no end.
5.The 8:00am rush hour is from 6:30 to 9:30am. The 5:00pm rush hour
is from 3:30 to 6:30pm. Friday's rush hour starts on Thursday
morning.
6. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you cannot be from Tulsa.
7. Sapulpa Road can only be pronounced by a native, so do not
attempt the phonetic pronunciation. People will simply tilt
their heads to the right and stare at you.
8. The falling of one snowflake causes all traffic to immediately
cease. Fortunately all schools, businesses and city government
close when the word snow is mentioned.
9. Construction on the Broken Arrow Expressway is a way of life and
a permanent form of entertainment.
10. Many bizarre sights can be explained simply by uttering the
phrase, "Oh, we're in Brookside"
11. Construction crews aren't doing their job properly unless they
close down all lanes except one during rush hour.
12. If someone actually has their turn signal on, it was probably
left on at the factory where the car was made.
13. Buying a Tulsa street map is a waste of money since the
termination or continuation of any street is entirely at the
discretion of the Streets Department of the City.
14. Asking directions will help you get acquainted with the numerous
recent residents. It will not be any help at all for finding the
address you seek.
15. Tulsa natives are so rare that they are listed on the endangered
species list. Even they can't help with directions,
however most streets are named after other cities to welcome you.
16. What you need to know when arriving at the Airport: Your arrival
gate is at least 32 miles away from the Airport parking. Walking
shoes are advised.
17. Never honk your horn at another car in traffic. The bumper
sticker that reads,"Keep honking, I'm reloading" is considered a
fair warning.
18. Exit and entry ramps on the expressway are just the recommended
way of entering and exiting, feel free to exit at any grassy
point you wish.
