    Theeee correct answer to this was almost, kinda, sorta answered by the guy with theVan buren " / political obamaish wit, Almost is not bad!(..If you Know me then you'd know this was practically a compliment from me, which is unheard of.. again only relivant if you knew me..but I digress... Anyway the interesting twist to this fun factoid is the second half that you either may have editted or was unaware of. .. O.K. is how Vanburen signed off on all documents that crossed his desk and it stood for his hometown of Old Kerhonksen... Cool huh! He signed "O.K."!!! True story. And while we're spitting out witty but unuseful nuggets of smart blonde 3 second brain burps,(is that an oxy moron or what!) I'd love to check and raise with this lovely pimple of factoid..oligy..That the life span of the average telephone pole is 8 years. lol. sorry.guys but I had to. blame my dad.
