I recently came across a list of “You Know You’re in Houston When…” Here are some of my favorites:
1. You’re on your way to work one FEBRUARY morning and suddenly you’re trapped in a traffic jam caused by a chuck wagon and fifty horses with riders and you look around to see that everybody in the cars around you is wearing a cowboy hat.
4. You have to turn on the air conditioning in January, two days after a low of 29 degrees.
6. When you see your neighbor dancing around the front yard, you don’t think he’s won the Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes; you know that he just stepped in a fire ant bed.
14. The “Killer Bees” are not stinging insects, but rather members of the Houston Astros.
19. Spring is not the season, Katy is not the lady, and 1960 is not the year.
22. You’ve never seen I-45 in any condition other than under construction, and you’ve lived here for 20-30 years.
27. A 747 with the Space Shuttle riding piggyback has actually flown low right overhead, and nobody paid any attention to it.
28. You know that while saving you money, “Mattress Mac” has amassed more than the U.S. treasury.
