Texas Stereotypes:Cartoons
Some friends of ours from Ohio sent us these as a joke when we moved here to Austin last month. I think they are from the New Yorker magazine. Anyway I'm just passing them a long for some light humor.

THESE ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY OR SERIOUSLY. IF YOU ARE A SENSITIVE TEXAN, PLEASE DO NOT READ! 
P.S. My personal favorite is the dashboard one! |

LOL. That pie slice fits so neatly under the gun.
Truly educational. I've never heard of dashboard organizers.

Wow, I could use that in my car, except I would have to replace the snuff with something else...maybe a cell phone charger .
As to the gunfight one, does anyone remember sheriff Boutwell (sp?) up in Williamson County? He was Sheriff for decades, and people joked (sort of ) that it was 'shoot first and ask the body questions later'.

Twange, you have only been here a month, and you seem to know more about Texas and Austinites in general than the locals themselves. Are you sure you weren't a Texan
in your former life? LOL! And don't forget to get those Ohio plates off the car! It's not official till you have the plates!
And please discard the following:
