It's funny because Texas has a great tradition of thinking originally and has great international conventions in Film etc that testify to this. The drummer in my old band went go Texas to jam and meet up with a couple of guys who pretty much wrote the book on writing music for computer games and electronic media. He was blown away by how broad the music scene there was and loved the place, couldn't recommend it enough.
Texas is a huge State, by residents,the state is generally divided into North Texas, East Texas, Central Texas, South Texas, West Texas, thus the saying "Everything is bigger in Texas". The biggest critics of the State are people who don't live here, and have no idea what the State is really like.
The name 'Texas', based on the Caddo (Native American) word "Tejas" meaning "friends" or "allies", was applied by the Spanish to the Caddo themselves and to the region of their settlement in East Texas. (near where I live) For the most part you won't find a friendlier group of people then us "Texans", or as my wife likes to say: "we aren't being friendly, just nosy."
OK so a Brit, an Irishman, and a Scot are at a pub and are having a pint. The Brit notices a fly in his pint and says "Barkeep this is filthy and I will not touch this drink!"....The Irishman notices a fly in his pint, he dips his fingers in the glass and tosses out the bug and then sips his beer. The Scot notices a fly in his pint and turns beet red....his fingers tremble with rage as he picks the fly out of his beer, holds the fly up to his face and says "ALRIGHT SPIT IT OUT YA BASTARD!"
....sorry, in hindsight that seems neither funny nor has a punchline about the Irish, oh well
It is a stereotype that the Scots are drunks and very tight with their money, so good joke.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
