Back in 1988 we moved to Texarkana for a job. I remember thinking "Oh Boy! We'll be living in a state with a ocean side. By golly, we'll probably be on the beach every weekend."
Finally a weekend came when we loaded up the car and boat then headed for Galveston. FIVE hours later, we finally got there.
I was telling a pen-pal who lives in England about it. "Holy Hell!" he exclaimed. "If I drove 5 hours in any direction, I'd end up very wet."
A few years after that, we got back home from vacation in Chicago. I had a message on my answering machine for a job interview in El Paso. I remember thinking, "oh well, at least I'm not driving to Chicago." Then I started checking and realized that Texarkana was closer to Chicago than it was to El Paso.

When I crossed into Texas at Texarkana heading for my 2nd duty station near Abilene I thought it won't be long..then 8 hrs later I drove up to the main gate.

I had a friend in Scotland message me once checking on me because some tornadoes had made the news but she only knew they were "near Dallas, Texas". I checked and told her "Yeah, we're good - those tornadoes were as close to us as you are to Paris."

I took a load to El Paso and, once empty, was asked to drop my trailer in Houston, bobtail to Lake Charles and pick up a loaded trailer to come back to Waco. The dispatcher was oblivious to the distances and was pissed that I couldn't at least make the pickup the same day. Hon, I might make it to the pickup tomorrow afternoon.

Europeans especially don't realize, but even some in the US (particularly the northeast) don't get it.

No cover charge, half price drinks and appetizers... the only downside is the place smells like a thrift store sofa.

I see you’re a man of your word.

What's a Texas County County doin' in Arkansas?

He sounded taller on the radio... what in the HAIL is this world comin' to?

Funny/not funny to me. Got pulled on a roadside inspection because I'm flying multiple hazmat placards and he was missing a few squares on his Bingo card.

Another thing that blows my mind is that if you cut Alaska in half, Texas would be the third largest state.

Of wetlands, uninhabited tundra, ice fields, much of which is only reachable by air...
It ain't a bigger pizza if half of it is inedible.
