I grew up in a small (pop. 369) village in central Illinois. My parents and I often took Sunday rides in the country. Every once in awhile my dad would say, "Today we'll go to Podunk; if we can find it." We never did find Podunck because Podunk did not exist (kinda like Kilroy). Dad said he had two friends who lived there; John Harvey D. C. V. Morecroppy and The Haythackers. Well, once in a while I still look for Podunk, and one day I think I saw the water tower!
