No, it's not true. The joke is as old as I, and it originally was a husband and wife passing through Mexia, TX. And it was a Dairy Queen.

And I attended Murray State and everybody, everybody knew how to pronounce Cadiz.

“Katey’s,” right?

I graduated from MSU in 1972 with a BS in Computer Science. Murray is one of my most beloved places in the entire world. I went back for homecoming about four years ago, and even got a pizza at Tom's. Tom recognized me after all of these years! He couldn't remember mt name, but knew that I graduated in 1972 since he never saw me after that.

Computer Science was under the Physics and Math departments in those days, so it was hard core. The last of my Physics teachers passed away this past summer. Those men all thought of themselves as my surrogate father, and took very good care of me.

So much of me was forged in that school.

...everybody knew how to pronounce Cadiz...

Not according to the people who lived there. One of my professors was born and raised in Cadiz. He always got a chuckle out of the "Yankee Boys'" pronunciation.
