. . . FOX-TERROR. Perhaps few if any viewers in this our Modern 21st Century have heard of the boll weevil beetle. Wikipedia teaches us that this invasive Mexican scourge has cost the Southern Red States of the Classic Confederacy about $13 Billion since the late 1800's. Infiltrating the Brownsville, TX, area in 1892, baby weevils are gluttons for cotton, scarfing down more of the crop than all the U.S. textile mills combined. American economists estimate that Today's U.S. T-shirt prices would average a nickel, while socks would be selling for a dime a dozen, were it now for weevil depredation. Does this sound to you like something Foghorn should be joking about?
