It was bound to happen. Novelist and Native Texan humor writer Mike Nichols has spilled his guts on just what it takes to call Texas home.
And he packaged it all in a back pocket-sized book called, You Know You’re a Texan If...
A sampling: “You have learned the chemistry of Texas summer: Water becomes a gas, creek beds become a solid, and asphalt becomes a liquid.”
“Your husband’s belt buckle is so big and round that it affects local tides.”
“Your wife’s hairdo is so big and round that it has smaller hairdos orbiting around it.”
This wee – 4.25"X5.5" – work of whit is priced low enough – $5.95 – to make a great add-on to a house gift, a stocking stuffer or a birthday present for that relative who moved away or for those recovering Yankees who moved in.
