Texans like to do things the old-fashioned way. That includes paying for things. It appears that some businesses in Texas still accept payment in livestock. We were wondering if anyone ever walked in and asked if they had changed for a camel.
As old-fashioned as Texans can be, many of them don’t accept payment in checks anymore. Checks are basically useless pieces of paper in Texas. But when you think about it, there are so many convenient wire transfer apps out there that would sooner or later turn checkbooks into ancient history.
Keeping It Safe
Responsible Texans know how to handle their guns but they also know how to properly store them. So yeah, Texas is where you can find many people with firearms strapped on their cowboy belts, but there's more to it. Real cowboys know that there's nothing sexier than being safe.
Judging by the massive size of those safes, it looks like the common Texan has quite the armory. Either that or they have totally different plans for those safes. Should we be scared or intrigued? For now, we are a little bit of both.
The Hitchhiker's Guide
There is an insane amount of correctional facilities in Texas. Maybe the heat is driving people out of their minds. Also, it may or may not have something to do with how fond Texans are of their firearms. Perhaps it's a combination of the two.
Anyway, when there are so many incarcerated people in one state, signs like this one become necessary and might even save some lives. So, instead of thumbing a ride, let's all embrace the Lone Star mantra - "Y'all drive safe now, ya hear?" and keep hitchhiking for the movies!
Suicidal Deer
Other than geckos and other reptilians, Texas fauna also includes deer. Actually, there are so many of them that they often end up on the road and spook innocent car drivers. This is why you can find signs such as this one on Texas roadsides.
We have never seen a sign like this anywhere else before. We are guessing the deer might not be aware of oncoming vehicles and step out into the road without looking or even knowing to look. So, watch out and drive slowly for the next mile. Or generally speaking.
No Trespassing
Texas ranchers tend to be very possessive when it comes to their ranches. Which makes a lot of sense. What makes a little sense is the violent reaction that trespassing triggers in them. Signs like this one can be found in various locations around Texas, warning people not to wander off into someone else's land.
Well, that gets the message across loud and clear, though to do all three seems excessive. Just stay away, as you're not likely to get out alive, and if you do, you’ll still end up in court. It seems Texans have no mercy when it comes to trespassers.
