Cleotus Scott Sipe

Hoax? Zero Google hits for this guy under any name, and the aphorism is at best an urban legend. RickK 06:33, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Story appears in Best Little Stories from the Civil War by C. Brian Kelly, Ingrid Smyer. A little obscure for google - User:BatMan | User talk:BatMan 06:59, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, unverifiable, possible hoax. Megan1967 08:30, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Looking through the index of Best Little Stories from the Civil War (as mentioned above), shows no sign of a "Cleotus Scott Sipe". Not that I expected it to anyway. And, hey, if this ever is verified (haha) then it could be reposted... R Calvete 18:57, 2005 Apr 26 (UTC)
