Notorious Gossip

There is a story about Arkansas which Texas and Oklahoma love to

tell

It seems that when the coloniza- tion movement was under way after the Civil War, there was a sign placed at forke in the road from Tennessee to the Southwest. This sign said that those wanting to go to Oklahoma should go to the right, while those headed for the plains of Texas should take the left-hand road. The story goes that those who came along and didn't know how to read just settled down and founded Arkansas.

To a tramp on the grass in the park: "You win the prize as the laziest man in the world."

Tramp: "Thanks, pal, roli me over and put it in me back pocket."
