During the years immediately following the U.S. Civil War, the plight of
Southerners of all persuasions was not helped by the large influx of
scalawags and other folks trying to make a fast buck off the locals'
troubles. One particularly troublesome group originated from the
Midwestern city of Madison. This group, singing their theme song "On
Wisconsin", became known as the Carpetbadgers.

Re: Another one for Studlover
It was very windy, and she was only six years old and small for her age. When her mother asked her to clean off the front sidewalk, the wind nearly blew her away. She picked up the broom countless times, but each time, the wind got the best of her and knocked her over. Her mother came out a few minutes later to see how she was doing and found her stuffing rocks in her pocket. "I thought you were cleaning off the sidewalk," her mother said. "What in the world are you doing?" The child replied: "Now? I weigh me down to sweep."
