Overheard in a History Book:


Meriwether Lewis

"I really wasn't much of an explorer, no matter what the history books say. I was just someone who tried to go places and kept getting miserably lost. And with no gas stations or convenience stores, where in the hell was I going to get  directions?  I couldn't very well go to AAA and pick up a map, either. So I'd have to find my way back home again. I was lucky, really."

Meriwether Lewis (1774-1809), known chiefly for his role as leader of the Lewis and Clark expedition (1804-1806)
