It’s all true: http://www.houstonillini.org/a_texas_story.htm 
The residents of Alaska, sick and tired of the constant bragging by Texans, have decided to split Alaska in two and make Texas the third largest state in the US.

And don’t even get me started on Aggie jokes. Four years in Texas (Dallas area), and I think that was the only type of joke I ever heard. Of course, most of them seemed fairly accurate. 
Darwin, did you hear about what happened a few years back?
From memory:
A cowboy from Oklahoma won the all-around in a fairly major rodeo. (All-Texas Rodeo???)
When he was called to the stand to receive his prize, he was announced as “a young man from the outlying region of Texas known as Oklahoma”.
When given the chance to speak a few words, he corrected the announcer, on the grounds that no other state has EVER been able to out-lie Texas.
(My grandmother was from Oklahoma, and held grudges)
I’ve had any number of Okie friends refer to Texas as “Baja Oklahoma”. I still haven’t figured out how to reverse that one.
Amohalko Ajab.
Texans… sheesh. :roll:
Of course!!! Why didn’t I see that? 
Oklahoma is where all the North-Texas trailer parks land after the tornadoes fling them into the air. It’s a win-win situation: Texans gets more empty lots for building horizon-to-horizon suburbs, and Oklahomans get cheap housing.
Love it, Darwin. I watched a skeptical Texan gazing at Stonehenge once. I couldn’t make out the whole sentence that he muttered, but it was something that ended with “bigger and better in Texas.” True story.
I kept thinkin it was those buried Cadillacs or something.
When Alaska joined the Union, Texans were glad that we’d gone with quality, instead of raw quantity.
We may have lost the first part of “bigger and better”, but we retained the second part. 
I think I’ve posted this one before, but it’s worth repeating.
A Texan is on vacation in Vermont, many years ago. Back in those days, Texas had direct-dial long distance calling, but Vermont didn’t. When he went to check out of his hotel, he noticed the charge for a phone call.
He says, “Why, in Texas we could make a call to hell and back for that amount.”
The clerk replies, “Ayuh, but in Texas wouldn’t that be considered a local call?”
And it raises the average IQ of both states!
(Sorry, I couldn’t resist. I actually originally heard that one about East Texans migrating to Louisiana))
That one seems to be universal - I first heard it (from a New Zealander) about people leaving New Zealand for Australia.
It was supposedly said, by Will Rogers, of migrants from Oklahoma to California.
Well, I hope that my Oklahoman neighbors don’t take offense
Truth be told, my favorite relatives (my grandparents) are from Lawton.
Truly a fine sight.
Do y’all still plant these, and Indian Paintbrush, down the middle of the interstate highway?
Having been away for about 18 years, I don’t know. Maybe Wanderer does.
When I was a kid, we used to drive to my aunt’s house in Bellville from the East, and we’d pass alternating fields full of bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush. It was really awe inspiring. (I’m not sure we even had interstate highways in Texas way back then. )
I don’t know if they’re actively planted.
But I do know I drove to Austin last weekend for Excalibur Faire, and there were plenty of bluebonnets and indian paintbrush along the highway. In fact, I saw maybe a half-dozen times, folks out sitting in them getting their pictures taken by friends or family.
Sure was a pretty sight.. (can you hear a Texas drawl when I say that?) 
I thought it was “Texicans.” At least that’s what I remember John Wayne and the Tennesseans calling 'em in ‘The Alamo’. 'Course it was a long time ago though and my memory ain’t what it used to be. Seeing the film, that is, not The Alamo, because that in itself was a long time ago, and I wasn’t there.
