Dear Peter Fisher: I am sorry I missed your post earlier about the jackalopes. Now, I want to tell ya a little tiny correction to yer misconception. It weren't any otha state than this here ole Wyomin' what discovered that rare and eloosive breed what is ta mixup of what the good lawd intended an antelope and jack rabbit to look like.

Anybody whos been thru Shoshone Wyoming and stopped in at the Yellowstone Drug an had one a thar famous, smooth and cool malts jist knows the very first one of them critters was found here, its picture tooken and put on one a them thar picture cards what ya kin send out to your'n kin. They's had the first stuffed one, heah, too, fer sure and we've proof down thar at the guv's office in old ShyAnne.

Now, we wont hold it aginst, ya, son, but we DO know them South Dakot'ns aren't content with the big old faces they mucked up them rocks with and they'd jist love to steal all o'the glory of this bounteous discoveree of such a rare hopper with horns. Aint' nothing like it in the hole world and we, here in Wyomin' are ready to stake our lives, homes, and hell, even throw in ar horse and saddle to prove we've the right a owning that first title of revelation about the jackalopes of Wyomin'. Which reminds me, have ya ever heard the one about the wild poodle herds of Wyomin'? Saw one m'self, I did, one dark and lonely night out on the highway to ShyAnne. Took me complete by surprise. Remind me ta tall it once o'thes edays; it's jist one more instanz of Wyomin' being ahead and in the runnin' fer finding new species on this here ole ball wax we call home.
