Hey, Joe...

...it doesn't just happen in southeastern Oklahoma...

Man Charged With Arson, Insurance Fraud In House Fire

Earlier this evening I was chatting with my mother, whom I affectionately term "Joe," and she told me that one time when we moved from a small town in southeastern Oklahoma to their current city of residence, someone approached them and offered to burn down their house for $500 so they wouldn't have to have the long-term headache of trying to sell it and keep it up. We joked that it sounded typical of that little part of Oklahoma.

Well, shut my mouth, because Iowans ain't above it, either.
