Missouriana

by Jack Stapleton, Jr.

*A St. Louis City official says Missouri, without his town and Kansas City, is Arkansas. City- slickers are never very good when it comes to reading road maps.

*It’s ben a good week, which is now computed by seven consecutive days during which neither Mel Carnahan nor John Ashcroft insults each other.

*Missouri transportation officials have begun estimating the added cost of making highways earthquake resistant. Some remote areas are still waiting for rain-resistant roads.

*December is the month state legislators begin filing bills for the next session and kids send letters to Santa, with the latter having a much higher success rate than the former.

*Just when you think things couldn’t get worse, you turn on the nightly news and see Donald Trump being questioned about what he would do as President.

*America is the only place in the world where a man doesn’t invoke laughter until he’s a presidential candidate.
