De actual quote wuz "Madison, dig dis: 25 square miles uh land
surrounded by reality.  Slap mah fro!" De size uh de City uh Madison be
25 square miles, not 20.  But ah' read dat Madison gots'ta only 15
square miles uh land.  Dis must gots' been in de early 1960's, when de
furdest west addresses wuz in de 4000's, and all addresses above 6000
wuz farmer's fields den.  'S coo', bro.  Lee Drefus wuz gov.  Man! fum
79-83, and Madison probably had 20 square miles uh land den.  'S coo',
bro.  But some 1987 article in de Milwaukee Journal gave da damn quote
as, dig dis: "Madison, dig dis: 25 square miles uh land surrounded by
reality.  Slap mah fro!"  ah' sdownpose dat da damn growd on de city's
west side gots'ta been dereason, as de highest addresses in de city are
around 8000, and mos' all deland east uh Gammon Road (7000) gots'ta
been developed.

Milwaukee be much larger, but easia' to git around in.  'S coo', bro.
ah' believe dat Milwaukeehas 96 square miles uh land, o' maybe 100 o'
mo'e.  What it is, Mama!

An intrestin' fact, dig dis: Madison gots'ta plum as much land area as
Waukesha, Wisconsin.  'S coo', bro.  Waukesha gots'ta 50,000 residents,
while Madison gots'ta 175,000 residents.
