Rogers - Brooklyn Bridge - wist_info quote


Will Rogers (1879-1935) American humorist
(Attributed)

Widely attributed to Rogers, though I cannot find a primary source for it.

Variants:
  • "They may call me a rube and a hick ..."
  • "Call me a rube ..."
  • "You could call me a hick or call me a rube ..."
