I thought we had some odd place names here in CA (e.g. Coalinga), but Okmulgee beats anything we've got.
Some of my favorites:
Gotebo (Go'-tee-bow')
Weleetka
Wetumka
Corn
Retrop - Town applied for a Post Office name of Porter. Seems as though there already was one, sooo...
Cement
Nowata
Mule Barn
and of course, Frogville
Don't forget about
Hooker and Slapout. The big boys told me you have to go through Bowlegs to get to Maude.
As for the job applicant, it would be good to be a proud Okie from Okmulgee, or even Muskogee.
There's an old, old story about passenger trains going from Kansas into Oklahoma. In Kansas, no drinking cups were provided for passengers to access the crocks of drinking water due to public health concerns. The rider had to provide his own cup. They really complained when they hit Oklahoma and heard the conductor shout, "Nowata".
