Mississippis
“One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four Mississippi.”
Arnold counted again, carefully, one every second.
“One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, four Mississippi.”
He let out a low whistle. “Well boys, I don’t have to tell y’all that four Mississippi rivers is approximately three more Mississippi rivers than the US Geological Survey expects to see at any one time.”
He and the boys looked on, dumbfounded. “What the hell are we gonna do with 4 Mississippis?”.
“Irrigate?” Offered one of the boys.
“I’ve had just about enough out of you, Cletus.” Retorted Arnold.
