A story is told on a couple of Sa-
vannahians who recently went out for
a country trip, carrying along their
guns to do little shooting. When
dinner time came they found them
selves at a place where a big cowbell
summoned everybody to dinner. It was
a meal of hog and hominy. Finally,
one of the two asked if he could get
a soft-boiled egg. The egg was brought
and the hungry man called for glass
to break it in. The waiter appeared
with a big looking glass, which he held
up before the face of the astonished
man. "Tumbler, tumbler, you fool"
shouted the hungry hunter, and the
rest roared.
