The Cotton Gin
July 11th by Tim

I’ve been doing accounting all afternoon, and boy does my head hurt!

In fact, it reminds me of a time when I wrote a research paper on Eli Whitney for my 10th grade American History class. For some reason I identified Mr. Whitney as African-American and, well, it’s just not true. Ha! Don’t know where that came from! Sometimes the strangest things just kind of slip out of that head of mine.

Anyway, my head hurt a lot on the day I got that paper back too.

    Eli Whitney. The person to whom the quote, “Get your cotton pickin’ hands off my gin”, is frequently yet oh so incorrectly attributed.
