For some reason this thread reminds me of Mantle doing his imitation of how Bobby Layne (the old Detroit quarterback) got out of trouble when he used to get pulled over with his accent -
"All, awficcer - Ah'm not drunk, ah'm from Texas!"
Something about that story makes me think the Oklahoma version of that accent wasn't much different...
