Ha Ha you can't use Texas as your example Dragonlich, we're a weird breed. When I went to England last year, a guy in the group of ppl we were drinking with asked where I was from. I of course responded Waller, Texas, every Englishman there at the table bust out laughing. I asked why and one told me that "Whenever a yank tells you where he's from, they all say "The States" "America" etc.,but it never fails, if that yank happens to be from Texas, he will ALWAYS say Texas, and usually tell you the tiny town too."
bit off topic I know but it still cracks me up.
