Dialect Quiz results

I haven't met anyone yet who says "poke" for a bag or sack, but I found out where they do. Driving back from Arkansas at night, on a two-lane road south of Lake Eufala in Oklahoma (and we won't even go into why we were on that road instead of I-40!), with Steven sound asleep, I passed a little convenience store called the "Tote-A-Poke". I was so amazed I almost hit the possum ambling across the road. I flew by the Tote-A-Poke, and there wasn't enough shoulder on the road to try a U-turn to go back and take a photo to document my discovery. Please believe me, as I don't ever want to drive highway 31 between Bokoshe and Kinta again in the dark or by daylight.
