I am originally from New Jersey, but moved to Texas in 1988. After a few years in Texas, I had called one the managers I reported to.
Me: Good morning, Jackie, is Marcus in today?
Jackie was Marcus’ secretary, and she is real east Texas.
Jackie: Marcus is stuck in meetings all day. Is this Lee *****?
Lee ***** is originally from Beaumont, and thinks everyone north of Conroe is a Yankee. No mistaking his Texan.
Me; No, Jackie, this is Greg ******, originally from New Jersey. If you mistook me for Lee *****, can I turn in my green card and officially become a naturalized Texas citizen?
Jackie: Texas is now your home.
My phone always says things I didn’t Nintendo.
