As y’all know, PPL Motorhomes is based in The Great State of Texas and are mighty proud of that fact. We’re so glad that the citizens of the Lesser States have realized what a paradise we have here in the Lone Star, that they are willing to give up the cold and snow and economic hard times of their home states to move down here with us and enjoy all this hot weather and work we’ve got happening these days. We also like ourselves a good old fashioned tongue-in-cheek brag session, so let’s go over some true Texas facts for you recently arrived folk.
Firstly, I am proud to announce that Texas is the only state in the Nation to ever whoop another country’s butt. Of course issuing whoopins comes with consequences, and that country had a good long think about that whoopin it received, and decided they needed to whoop ours right back, which is how we Texans became Texan-Americans. We needed our big brother to come help out. (Insert self-deprecating smile here).
Secondly, our chili is so darn good here in Texas that it prevents bank robbery! Seriously! Jesse James once declined to rob the bank in McKinney, TX, because he enjoyed the chili there so much he wanted to ensure he’d always be welcome back in town.
Thirdly, we’re pretty darn tough around here! There was a fella back in the 90’s who was bit by a coral snake; to you newcomers, those are poisonous. They have distinctive black, yellow, and red bands and spawned the phrase, “red and yellow, kill a fellow” to differentiate between the coral snake and their less harmful relatives. Anyhow, like I was saying, there was this Texan back in the 1990’s who was bitten by a coral snake, and in turn he bit the head off the snake and used it’s body as a tourniquet. Which is pretty tough of him!
Fourthly, we’re full of good advice and safety tips (see thirdly, above). My advice to you today is to click this link and head on over to PPL Motorhomes.com for all your parts and accessories!
