1. Have mercy !

I LOVED Ann Richards. Stationed in SE TX for 3 years (felt like a decade), the only thing that made it bareable was knowing that Ann Richards was going to say or do something that would bring a smile to my face.

Shortly after she took the Governor's office, that first holiday season of her administration, some folks came to her to complain about a Nativity scene right outside on the sidewalk of the State House. Separtion of church and state, doncha know. Ann said that she would see to it that the following year it would not be there, but that they should take heart as (something ONLY Ann Richards could say and get away with), "That's the closest three wise men have ever been to the Texas State House."
