Nah, just willing to bet that he went to a state-supported (meaning taxpayer-funded) university.

I’m surprised you don’t know @davidallen’s story. He’s told it a time or two. Steve Martin made a movie based on his life. It was a big hit. The movie followed David’s life from the beginning. It was called “The Jerk.”

(Just messing with ya, David. We all know you weren’t born poor.)

A couple of facts for you to work into your narrative:

• My dad was one of 13 kids raised in a 2 bedroom house. Thankfully they were spread out age-wise, but it wasn't unusual for there to be some folks bedding out on the porch during the warm months. I recall doing that myself at age 11 once we returned to Cushing from our journey out west.
• My parents lived right down the street in a rental from my Grandparents who lived at N. Seay and Greenlee. If anyone knows Cushing, especially from the 1950s to the 1980s you know that was the poor part of town. You got me to reminiscing and it looks like someone scraped the lot and put a new house up in the past 20 years or so. Grandma had a concrete burro in the front yard, there is a picture of me at 3 or 4 busting that bronco. I gotta dig that out.
• I was the first of the Allen clan to get a college degree.
• My parents busted their asses to build a good life for my brother and me, showing us that hard work was a prerequisite to getting ahead. I am proud of them both.

Fitting for my dad for sure. He was a good old man. He didn't graduate high school but had the work ethic and intelligence to go from a sand truck driver in 1976 at Dresser Titan to Head of US Operations for a Canadian outfit in just 10 years. 1987 just about broke him I think - watching what he went through at the time convinced me to change my direction from Petroleum Geology to Computer Science.

So you are proud of your heritage as well.
Very good.

Heritage? LOL at that. I am proud of my parents who were good people despite the "heritage" of their time.

I knew you weren't its just easier to say you are and have you deny it than have you dodge the question. Saves time.
