If you are thinking of some double meaning in the heading, then please don't stop yourself because Oklahomans want you to think exactly that. I have been working on a client site for two weeks in Oklahoma City and one thing that strikes right away is how much wind the place has. Sometimes I wonder if people with lesser than 100 pound weight aren't in danger of just flying away!!!
So at this client site, there is a lot of manufacturing activity and you get to meet some finer Southerners. And believe me, if something defines a Southerner, it is his straight talk, a fine sense of humor and a genuine warmth towards the other person( and trust me, if you started your life in US in Los Angeles, then when people talk to you in Oklahoma City, it is quite a difference)....and of course, the accent.
So this one guy at the client site tells me that the huge wind that blows all the time is because "Texas Blows & Kansas Sucks" or vice versa depending on the direction....I don't know what better way to communicate a fine rivalry...be it Sooners vs. Longhorns or anything else. These people love to crack jokes and laugh out aloud. So if you like to tell stories on just about everything and you have a hearty laugh, then South is the place for you.
