Indiana is the "hoosier" state but what that means is subject of debate. Known a jillion people from all over Ohio and never heard one say "carry in." I have head potholes and holes in a field or a yard referred to as "chuck holes" but not "chugholes." The guy who wrote that sounds like a real chughole to me.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
