Oklahoma Tourism Council Bulletin: This list of
rules will be handed to each person as they enter the state

1. That slope-shouldered farm boy did more work before breakfast than you'll do all week at the gym. How'd you like to go home and tell your momma you got your butt kicked by a big guy in bib overalls?

2. It's called a 'gravel road.' No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your BMW.

3. We all started hunting and fishing at no older than 9yrs old. Yeah, we saw Bambi. We got over it.

4. Any references to "corn fed" when talking about our women will get your butt kicked......by our corn-fed women.

5. Go ahead, bring your $600 Orvis Fly Rod. Don't cry to us if a flathead breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for those little 13" trout you fish for...bait.

6. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.

7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

8. That's right Whiskey's only $2.

9. The Sooners are as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks...and a dang sight more fun to watch.

10. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey. Yeah, we have sweet tea. It comes in a glass with two packets of sugar and a spoon.

11.You bring Coke to my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice.

12.So you have a $60,000 car. We're real impressed. We have a quarter of a million dollar combines that we use two weeks a year.

13 Get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow.

14.Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks--because they want to. So, you're a feminist; Well, Isn't that cute.

15.Yeah, we eat catfish, carp, and turtle. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the bait shop....enjoy.

16.They're pigs. That's what they smell like. Get over it. Don't like it? Interstate 40 goes two ways I-35 goes the other two. Pick one.

17."Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious
holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November. You can get breakfast at the church.

18.Every person in every car/truck waves. It's called being
friendly. Understand the idea?

19.Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazards. It spooks the
fish.

20.We can't shoot doves; they're song birds. Even we feel a little stupid about that one.

Now, enjoy your visit and then go home.

Some of the best football I ever watched came out of that state.

Not sure what else though.

I read recently that the Republicans there are steadfastly trying to make it one of those &quot;Right-to-mooch&quot; states. That would be sad indeed.

Same place as Arkansas....just my way of making fun of them. I acutally saw a sign outside of Fort Smith once that was advertising a used car lot. It said &quot;Best prices in Arkansaw&quot;

Actually I have found the famous &quot;friendliness&quot; of Oklahoma totally overrated, and I have never lived ANYWHERE (including New York City) where people were less inclined to give you a wave for letting them in in traffic. In my experience this godforsaken hellhole (er, I mean charming frontier paradise) is anything but friendly.

shinerburke, not bad.

Red, seen them before, time for some new material.

Don_Vito, the western side of the state is somewhat different then the eastern. If you get a chance, come vist Green Country, I think you would like it.

By &quot;right to mooch&quot; are you referring to the Right To Work. The right to work at a job without having to pay someone for the privilege. Someone who will use those forced &quot;dues&quot;/extortion to back political candidates that you do not agree with. The organization that has historically been tied to the mob and corruption and liberals.
Is that the &quot;Right to Work Referendum&quot; you are referring to?


capitalresearch.org
Big Labor has a unique source for its campaign largesse. Only organized labor has the power to seize the earnings of employees under the threat of firing. Federal law gives this power to private sector unions, while state laws authorize government sector unions to compel payment of union dues. The upshot: Eight out of ten Americans in unionized workplaces are forced by contract to pay union dues as a condition of employment. And because nearly 40 percent of unionized voters regularly vote Republican, that means some 4 million working Americans are being forced to contribute to the campaigns of candidates of a political party they do not support.

Half-hearted defenders of employee freedom of speech and association sometimes argue that we should stop worrying because unions are slowly withering away. But unions enjoy great political power because current law forces employees to join them, in violation of their basic Constitutional rights. A National Right to Work Act would restore these rights. It would also drastically curb union political power by eliminating the forced union dues that have been fueling the campaigns of Big Labor?s political allies.

nilrr.org/corruption.
The problem is that federal law for decades has given unions the privilege of requiring new employees to join. In that sense, the law has been an unwitting accomplice to corruption in labor unions, whether the pile of money lay in operating revenues or member benefit plans.

While there are many reasons for corruption, public policy has been a major contributing factor explaining why the term &quot;union corruption&quot; in the public mind seems a redundancy. Labor unions, ostensibly established to promote the interests of their members, too often embody the abuse of trust in the service of greed and power.

Exactly...the western half of Oklahoma is different from the eastern. Come to Tulsa sometime, I think you will like it much better than the Norman/Okc area.
