AL and Rome GA have in common?
Answer: All are related to the McKinney family in some form. |
| Washington Humor In George Washington's
days, there were no cameras.
One's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George
Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his
back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by
painters were not based on how many people were to be painted, but
by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are "limbs,"
therefore painting them
would cost the buyer more. Hence the __expression, "okay, but it'll
cost you an arm and a leg." |
Washington Stories
Story as seen in the Calhoun
County Journal, The Unsung
Life Of A Lousy Lad: 2006, By Egbert Phillips. Egbert
Phillips was a native of Pontotoc County who later in life donated
the land for the Boy Scouts' Camp Phillips. The story was provided
by Bob Cooper who recently found it in some of his files. The story
highlights past days with John C. Washington and family.
