When seeking to correct, keep Will in mind.

It's the birthday of rodeo performer and humorist Will Rogers, (books by this author) born in Indian Territory in Oklahoma (1879). He made fun of all the leading politicians of his day.

Rogers said, "When I die, my epitaph … is going to read: 'I joked about every prominent man of my time, but I never met a man I didn't like.' I am so proud of that I can hardly wait to die so it can be carved. And when you come to my grave you will find me sitting there, proudly reading it."

He said, "There is no credit to being a comedian, when you have the whole government working for you. All you have to do is report the facts. I don't even have to exaggerate."
