The City
of Houston, the Bayou City, Space City, Harris
and
surrounding counties...
1. First you must learn to pronounce the city name. It is YEEWS-TUN and it does not matter how people pronounce it in other places.
2. Houston
has its own version of traffic rules. Never forget that
downtown
Houston 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 Dallas.
3. All directions start with "Go down Westheimer..."
4. Westheimer 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 Houston.
7. Kuykendahl (kirk-en-doll) 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 Gulf Freeway 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 Montrose!"
11. Construction crews aren't doing their job properly unless they close down all lanes except one during rush hour.
12. If some one actually has their turn signal on, it was probably left on at the factory where the car was made.
13. Buying a Houston 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. Houston
natives are so rare that they are listed on the endangered species
list.
Even they can't help with directions though,
as
most
streets are still under construction and have recently changed names.
16. What you need to know when arriving at Bush Inter-continental Airport: Your arrival gate is at least 32 miles away from the Main Concourse of any terminal. Walking heels on your boots or walking shoes are advised.
17. Never honk your horn at another car in Houston traffic. The bumper sticker that reads, "Keep honking, I'm reloading" is considered a fair warning.
18. Exit
and entry ramps on the freeway are just the recommended way of entering
and exiting, feel free to exit at any grassy point you wish.
Survival Tips for Yankees moving to the South
1. Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later how to use it.These are funny but as right as rain--almost as much fun as we have bein' silly.
2.If you forget a Southerner's name, refer to him (or her) as"Bubba". You have a 75% chance of being right.
3. Just because you can drive on snow and ice does not mean we can. Stay home the two days of the year it snows. ( This is the truth if I ever heard it.Two years ago we got an ice storm they blocked off the freeways to keep us from killin" ourselves.)
4. If you drive your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in the cab of a four wheel drive with a 12-pack of beer and a tow chain will be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way.This is what they live for. True
5. Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store.
6. Do not buy food at the movie store.
7. If it can't be fried in bacon grease, it ain't worth cooking, let alone eating.
8. Remember: "Y'all" is singular. "All y'all" is plural. "All y'all's" is plural possessive. Absolutely true.
9. There is nothing sillier than a Northerner imitating a southern accent, unless it is a southerner imitating a Boston accent.
10. Get used to hearing, "You ain't from around here, are you?"
11. People walk slower here. (Get behind somebody in a store when you're in a hurry and you'll see how true this is.Sometimes I check their pulse to see if they're alive.)
12. Don't be worried that you don't understand anyone. They don't understand you either.
13.The first Southern expression to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective "Big ol'", as in "big ol' truck" or "big ol' boy". Eighty-five percent begin their new southern influenced dialect with this expression. One hundred percent are in denial about it.
14.The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper.
15. Be advised: The "He needed killin'" defense is valid here.
16. If attending a funeral in the South, remember, we stay until the last shovel of dirt is thrown on and the tent is torn down.
17. If you hear a Southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all, watch this!" stay out of his way. These are likely the last words he will ever say.
18. Most Southerners do not use turn signals, and they ignore those who do. In fact, if you see a signal blinking on a car with a southern license plate, you may rest assured that it was on when the car was purchased.
19. Northerners can be identified by the spit on the inside of their car's windshield that comes from yelling at other drivers.
20. The
winter wardrobe you always brought out in September can wait
until
November.
21.If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the most minuscule accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store. It does not matter if you need anything from the store, it is just something you're supposed to do. (You should seen us when the last tropical depression blew in.Right there in the grocery store.I almost got blown away in the parking lot.We do it everytime.)
22. Satellite dishes are very popular in the South. When you purchase one it is to be positioned directly in front of your trailer.This is logical bearing in mind that the dish cost considerably more than the trailer and should, therefore, be displayed.
23. Tornadoes
and Southerners going through a divorce have a lot in
common.
In either case, you know someone is going to lose a trailer.
24. Florida is not considered a southern state. There are far more Yankees than Southerners living there.
25. In southern churches you will hear the hymn, "All Glory, Laud and Honor". You will also here expressions such as, "Laud, have mercy", "Good Laud", and "Laudy, Laudy, Laudy".
26. As you are cursing the person driving 15 mph in a 55 mph zone, directly in the middle of the road, remember, many folks learned to drive on a model of vehicle known as John Deere, and this is the proper speed and lane position for the vehicle. Amen.Lawdy,lawdy.
27. You can ask a Southerner for directions, but unless you already know the positions of key hills, trees and rocks, you're better off trying to find it yourself.
You'll get the knack of being in the South in no time.If you survive the first year,you got it made.We might be a little teched but we're friendly.
