The boll weevil was not added until thirty years later, when Luther Baker thought the Boll Weevil Monument should have a boll weevil on it.

I saw it when I was a kid. Wikipedia doesn’t make it clear but that thing is literally in the middle of the road. I found this photo on Google maps

I’d post that one joke about weevils but it’s not my turn.
