Speaking of warped....here in the state of Iowa, when people hear I was
born in Muskogee, Oklahoma, many will immediately start quoting/singing
the old Merle Haggard redneck country tune, "Okie From Muskogee"......
(I must admit, though, that I have the song on tape. 8-track tape. And
I even have a still-working 8-track player. ;-)
