Yesterday's POP QUIZ & ANSWERS: I failed the test!

"Tar Heel State,"

When we were fighting the war with the British, the war got hot and heavy and all the solders ran except the ones from NC. The American Gen. asks them why they didn't run too. They told him "I guess we have tar on our heels Sir", speaking of the tar in tobacco.

I failed the quiz miserably. I only knew Oktoberfest. Woe is me. I'll try to do better next time.
