OKLAHOMA—Texas has announced the unilateral annexation of Oklahoma. The entire state will be leveled and turned into one giant Buc-ee's convenience story, according to sources within the Texas state government.
The move was made as part of an attempt to find a use for the state to the north of Texas, as it seemed to just be acres and acres of nothing worthwhile.
"There, that's a far better use of these 7,000 useless square miles," said Texas Governor Greg Abbott as bulldozers began demolishing the trailer parks, exotic cat zoos, and lame gas stations with fewer than 48 pumps that made up the state of Oklahoma. "Finally -- weary travelers just passing through Oklahoma can experience fine refreshments, plenty of gas pumps, and extremely tasty snacks."
Abbott then bit into a glazed pistachio. "Oh, man. This is to die for."
The governor then cut a ribbon with a bayonet attached to an AR-15, officially opening the massive Buc-ee's. The new fueling station has 800,000,000 pumps, 50,000 barbecue pits, hundreds of square miles of delicious flavored nuts, and over 10,000,000 of the cleanest bathrooms you'll ever use.
Buc-ee’s!
Yeah, but will they keep the casinos open?
New Mexico is not Texas’ largest State Park?
Only reason Texas doesn’t fall into the Gulf of Mexico is because Oklahoma sucks...

Texas needs the water.
We need to sell it to them for big big $$$.
We’ve had one here for a year or two. The wife and I went this summer just to check it out...at 12 noon on a work day.........I walked out a nervous wreck.
Because the Longhorns will never beat the Sooners or Cowboys!
I'm pretty sure Oklahoma is larger than 7000 square miles.
It is also the reason that trees lean to the north in Texas.

On a smaller scale the Mayor of Boston announced a grand plan to ease city parking by annexing Rhode Island
:-)
Once you’ve negotiated the crowd at one it becomes glaringly apparent that sense of purpose and situational awareness isn’t sold there.
Now that’s funny!! LOL
Texas needs to annex Oklahoma to offset the influx of liberals who are moving to Texas. Oklahoma is the only state where the Democrats lose national elections in every county, even the urban areas.

I am a Texan and pull for all Texas teams including UT. However, when Texas plays OU I pull for OU. It takes those arrogant little pharmacy interns I used to train down a notch or two. I do rub it in. They are actually very good and skilled. I just can not stand their arrogance.
I, a Texas/Oklahoma scion, just recently learned that Florida has 2 Bucee’s! on I-95 in the Daytona & St Augustine Areas! I am, as a resident of Florida's Gulf Coast, quite jealous! My last trip to Tejas, many years ago, introduced me to the Buc-ee’s TEXAS BIG! Management ... I-75 is also a big feeder!
While I do like Buccee’s their refusal to supply windshield washing squeegees in an area renowned for swarms of love bugs, simply baffles me.
A reporter once asked Bob Stoops why OU did so well recruiting players from Texas. He responded, "When I meet with the kids from Texas, I tell them they can go to UT and play for a state championship. Or, they can come to OU and play for a National Championship!"
Not sure how the move to the SEC will work for Texas recruiting. I think they will have a rough 10 years after the move.
