    A Funny Story
    Once upon a time "Long Dan" was in the bed sick. He sent for the doctor. When the doctor came he said to Dan, "How long are you there"? Dan answered, "Six feet two." "What is wrong with you"? "I sent for you to tell me that." Would you eat an egg"? Would I eat a clutch and the hen that laid them". "You are very crooked." "I was built of green timber and I warped" replied Dan.
