Slapout, Oklahoma

So I went to a BSU reunion today.  It was a reunion of the BSUers  who were students at Oklahoma Panhandle State University during the '60's. On my route to Goodwell, OK, (located in the center of the panhandle of Oklahoma) I passed through Slapout, OK.  The story of how the wide-spot-in-the-road received it's name is interesting.  Check out the short version from a page in Oklahoma Place Names, by George Shirk...

On the way back to Chickasha, I stopped in Slapout to get a coke.  Would you believe me if I told you they were slap out of cokes? Didn't think you would....  Anyway, I didn't get my coke because they were closed. So I'll never know if  they were slapout of cokes of not...

And I'm slapout of anything to say...
