What's funny is, people would say "You're from Texas?! You don't seem like a Texan." I like the joke.

Thank you. The stereotypical Texan in Colorado is a loud mouthed braggert with lots of money to burn and a bunch of pals named Festus, who go around shooting cows because they can't tell the difference between them and deer. Thus, we are impressed by Texans who have even the minimum of social graces and refrain from shooting livestock. People get sterotyped everwhere. Its just the natural ways of a society faced with an onslaught of "outsiders."
