Never Forget Independence

"Never Forget Independence"*

*It is reported that several men of various nationalities
were engaged in writing books on the elephant.

A German put out a three-volume tome replete with
footnotes, entitled "A Short Introduction to the Study
of the Elephant."

A Frenchman put out a slim and graceful book entitled
"The Elephant and His Love Life."

An Englishman put out a heavily illustrated travel
guide, entitled "Hunting Elephants in Deepest Africa."

A Jew published a fiery pamphlet entitled "The Elephant
and Anti-Semitism."

And an American put out an advertising brochure,
entitled "How to Raise Elephants in Your Backyard for Fun and Profit."

"Hitchhiker"*

*A hitchhiker in the hills of Tennessee was picked
up by a hillbilly who pulled a gun on him and
ordered him to take a bottle of corn moonshine
from the glove compartment of the car.

"Drink it," the hillbilly ordered, waving the gun.

The hitchhiker took a swallow from the bottle,
gasped, gulped, sobbed, blinked, wept, gagged,
choked, shuddered, squirmed, and twitched.

"All right," the hillbilly said. "Now you take the
gun and force me to take a drink."
