[Geysers] Important history

[TSBryan at aol.com]

In a southern cotton field where lived two boll weevils: Victor, who was 
immense, arrogant and overbearing, and Wes, who was a small, introverted, likable 
weevil. Whenever they met, Victor delighted in taunting little Wes, openly 
sneering at him and belittling him in ever weevil way.

One day little Wes asked a passing jaybird, "Why is it that I am a victim of 
such unjust discrimination?"

"Because," replied the jaybird, "you are the lesser of two weevils."

"Bolls!" cired little Wes. Unable to tolerate his lot any longer, he flew off 
to the north country where he soon infested a frontier outpost. In joyous 
celebration of his courageous move, the townsfolk promptly named the place WES 
WEEVIL'S TOWN.

The name has since been corrupted into the present "West Yellowstone," but 
exactly when does not seem to be documented in either the town library or the 
nearby national park's where there are geysers [moderator: note keyword 
"geysers"] archives.
