    In 1879, on this date -- November 4th -- the beloved 20th century cowboy philosopher and humorist, Will Rogers, was born on a ranch in Cherokee Indian (Oklahoma) territory.
    After jobs as a Texan cowboy and an Argentine gaucho, Rogers joined Texas Jack's Wild West show in 1902 as a trick roper and rider.
    During that time, Rogers realized his impromptu jokes and witty remarks were a hit with show audiences.
    Eventually, he popularized his folksy manner and wit into a travelling vaudeville show, radio shows, movie appearances, and writing over 4,000 articles and seven books.
    In August 1935, while flying to Asia with the famous American pilot, Wiley Post, their plane crashed near Point Barrow, Alaska -- killing both men.
    Although Post's plane had a direction-finding "radio compass" on board, they had no radio transceiver.
    Strangely, LW wondered whether Wiley would have left Will transmit familiar (aviation) phrases like "Over and Out" or "Roger Wilco" while airborn.
    Would you have?     Accordingly, we offer for your approval, 3 questions about about Will Rogers, and the common understanding of those two phrases.
Please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each of the following question.
   Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!
    Ok, cue up your copy of the 1980 movie, AIRPLANE; fasten your seatbelts and put your tray-tables in an upright position; and....
