Acknowledgments Introduction What is the proper answer when asked, "Where are you from?" I have a co-worker who dips Copenhagen and spits into a Styrofoam cup in the office. Is this appropriate? If, when you visit a friend''s house, he has parked on his front yard, may you also park there? Is it really okay to make love in a campground? Can one have too many Texas-themed tattoos? What are the guidelines for male friends helping each other apply sunscreen? Is it okay to buy my daughter a homecoming mum and say it''s from a secret admirer? How old need a boy be to receive the gift of a first gun? What can I do to keep varmints from destroying my beautiful landscaping? Do I have to go with my family to take a bluebonnet photo this year? What''s the best cure for jellyfish stings? Propane or charcoal? Will hiring a lawn service to do my yard work make me soft? Is it wrong to wear your football team''s jersey to church? Is it real Tex-Mex if it''s served with a side of black beans? How do I break into the business of ranching? When out at a dance hall, do I need to stick with the one that brung me? What do I tell my young son when he asks me to identify a roadside crop I don''t recognize? Can I have school spirit for a college I didn''t attend? How many Gulf oysters does it take for a person to see results from the aphrodisiac qualities that they are said to possess? May I pick the bluebonnets? What are the rules of the road when it comes to driving behind a tractor? If I hit a deer with my car, is it legal to collect it and eat it? Is there such thing as gravel-road etiquette, and if so, how best can I teach it to the neighbors? How do I get out of a wedding scheduled for Super Bowl Sunday? Is disciplining my niece over spilt Dublin Dr Pepper okay? Are "truck nuts" appropriate? Do country dancers ever go clockwise? Can I shoot a rattlesnake in my suburban backyard? May I keep a loose dog even if I have a pretty good idea where he came from? Is there a point at which I should stop condoning my daughter''s tomboy side? What are the rules regarding the setup of a new tailgating spot? Is it legal to be buried on my own property? Should I unleash my dogs on the possum that visits my back porch? If two ranches are separated by a length of old barbed-wire fencing and that fence needs repair, who is responsible come fence-mending time? Have rural Texans always been closed-minded about clothes? Why is driving allowed on beaches in Texas? Can you recommend a cure for cedar fever? Does anyone ever have an actual "roll" in the hay? Is there really "no such thing as bad barbecue"? Are the banks of a river free to use for camping? How is it possible that the word "Texan" is not accepted for play in the game Words With Friends? When did we start referring to a chicken''s "second joint" as its thigh? Tell us about your little sidekick? Instead of handing my pocketknife over to airport security, I used a service that promised to mail it back to me. I haven''t seen it since. Is it gone forever? Can you recommend other Texas beaches that compare with the old South Padre Island? What should I do if I encounter a tornado while driving? How should a Texan handle himself in the presence of a small stinging insect? I let my daughter use my husband''s chili pot to tie-dye some T-shirts, and he''s really upset. How do I make it right? Is not liking Willie Nelson''s music a relationship deal-breaker? My husband and I are Texans living in Florida, but recently he told someone that we were from Florida. Will you please explain to him why this cannot continue? What do I tell my friend who insists on giving Tennessee credit for the "birth of Texas"? I''ve been thinking about getting a license to carry a gun, but my wife insists this is a bad idea. I seek your counsel. My wife-to-be loves animals and wants a miniature Vietnamese potbellied pig as a wedding gift. Is this insane?
