“Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier’n puttin’ it back.” (Will Rogers) I just noticed that this is the 2nd Rogers’ quote used this week. I must like him. I like his wry smile and use of “real” language, words understood by common people. His political humor is relevant today in Washington, as it was in his day. I like the sound of saying his hometown: Oogoglah, OK. I also like it that Will had an affinity for the poor and minorities. ;-) Jack
FROM ESKOELIZ: I like this one! It's my favorite so far. Light-hearted with a serious underlying message.===JACK: Did you try to say his hometown? OO-GOG-LAH Gog, like in synagog. Modern spelling is Oologlah.
FROM WALMART REV: I can still remember seeing him occasionally on the old black and white TV programs in the 50's and actually walked through a museum dedicated to him in Claremore, OK. 0;-)===JACK: I liked the way he scratched his head as he talked.
