OKOBOJI

 

I grew up near Okoboji, Iowa and on Thursday, I wore my "University of OKOBOJI" sweatshirt to school.  

I was stopped by our speech therapist who said, "My sister lives in a small town by Okoboji."

"Really?  What town?"

"Oh, it's so small, you've never heard of it."

"Try me.  I grew up down there."

"No really.  No one's ever heard of it."

"Tell me.  I'm sure I have."

"Harris?" 

When I stopped laughing, I replied, "I graduated from Harris-Lake Park!"

Not only had I heard of it, shopped in it, and taken the school bus there for an entire year, I graduated with some of her sister's relatives!
