The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

"The Buck Stops Here" from El Reno, Oklahoma, on Route 66

I was recently looking at the List Universe where they had a bit on 15 misquotes in politics and military. One was about President Truman's "The Buck Stops Here" sign on his desk. The article said this originated at the desk of the colonel at the Federal reformatory in El Reno.

A Yale historian has discovered an El Reno newspaper from 1942 with that phrase on his desk. Truman's sign was a gift from that institution.
