YES! and I hired Monsieur Fletcher to query me on it so I could get in
another spam. And now you...this could go on and on until the listmom
censors me severely. Meanwhile, I wager that copies of OKLAHOMA are
flying off of Amazon's shelves faster than Harry Potter books!!!!

The Texan stereotype is a loud, overbearing, braggart — ”Now listen,
son, I’ll tell you how to do it.” Okies are the opposite: understated,
quieter, more humble with a strong streak of self-effacing humor and
sarcasm. “I would dearly appreciate your showing me how to do it since
I’ve only done this a thousand times.” One popular automobile bumper
sticker reads, “It’s hard to be humble when you’re a Sooner.”   Read
OKLAHOMA, an Enslow book, by Donald Henry Hinkle. ISBN 0-7660-5138-2
