Several years ago I wrote the best 100
words I ever hope to write, about the enormous galvanized watering
can of Utica, New York. Since then I have given that city very little
thought. So let's revisit the Jewel of the Mohawk. Utica is named
for, and essentially replaces, a city of the same name in Tunisia
which no longer exists. In addition to the World's Largest Watering
Can, Utica is also the birthplace of the Union Suit, the red
butt-flap long johns worn to such great comic effect by bearded
sidekicks in many Cowboy movies. Hats off to Utica!
