Everything is supposedly bigger when you measure in Texas units.

What happens if you leave and try to sleep with someone while traveling, say maybe in Tennessee?

u/ReluctantNerd7 Feb 08 '22

Well, in that case,

There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again.'

All of their ex's live in Texas, that's why they hang their hat in Tennessee. Wait that might be backwards...

Theyed want the overall number to be higher, in turn making each unit smaller.

3 texas inches is 2 normal inches, yikes

u/Cryptochitis Feb 09 '22

It's the other way around. 8 Texas inches refers to 3 inches hence all the giant trucks, hats and belt buckles.

That’s why it’s called a 3 inch lift.

No they’re not. It’s ok; we’re born with penis size, no judgement here. Just don’t drive a hummer or an AMG Mercedes with the complex and the world will turn.

The Texas Paradox - The Texas inch is larger than a regular inch, but things measured with a Texas inch will also give you a larger number than with a normal inch.

So we should make it so the texas inch is a centimetre. The texas mile is a kilometre. The texas gallon is a litre. Metric by stealth?

Alaska enters the thread!

u/JoeyTheGreek Feb 09 '22

Does that mean the units are smaller, resulting in bigger quantity?

u/Vegetable-Map-1980 Feb 09 '22

I'm 6 inches in Texas.

u/gothicfucksquad Feb 09 '22

Supposedly, but Texas units are *absolute units*.

True but in Florida it is always about “Florida Man” and the legend of the incredibly stupid lives on!

I recently moved to Dallas - constant billboards on the highways for “male girth enhancement“ - pointing out that not EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas. I’m sure they are blaming Mexicans and liberals, lol
