Freddie Johnson writes, "I know, I know, a real groaner!"

William Penn, the famous statesman, had two elderly aunts who loved to
bake pies. The pies were very popular with the townspeople so the aunts
decided to start selling them. The pies sold so well that the women
quickly became greedy and they started raising their prices. Soon,
everybody in town was talking about the pie rates of Penn's aunts.
