An exchange tells this good story
A yankee and Frenchman owned PIC
in copartnership. When killing time
came they wished to divide the carcass
The yankee was anxious to divide so tina,
nc should get both hind quarters, and
persuaded the Frenchman that the proper
way to divide WAS to cut it across the
back. The Frenchman agreed to it, on
condition that the Yankee would turn his
back and take choice of the pieces after it
was cut in two. The Yankee turned his
back, and the Frenchman asked:
witch piece will you have; ze piece
