I was driving my buddies back to Queens from Manhattan one night and we passed by KFC and it reminded me of something I read about why Kentucky Fried Chicken changed its name to KFC. I vaugely remembered reading that the Commonwealth of Kentucky was in such a state of financial ruins that it trademarked its name.
One friend, Moody McCarthy, said, “That sounds like a lot of horseshit.”
I agreed with him but stood by the explanation because I knew in my heart that I had read it and it was true. How can a person read something if it were not true? That’s impossible.
Although, I couldn’t remember where I read it. So I scoured the Web and finally found it here at Snopes.com.
See. Why would I lie? Be sure to read the “Additional information:” link.
