When I was a child, my dad used to get in the car and go off on his own on some Sundays -- his only day off. I always wanted to go, and when I asked him where he was going, being from Arkansas, he would say, "Off a piece". Until I was in sixth grade I thought there was a town in the San Joaquin Valley called Ofapece.
