lank Yankee, a veritable David Har-
um, came into my Office. 1t seems that
he had got into trouble as a result of
trading a COW. He had succeeded. in
palnling of on an unsuspecting neigh
Dor an uncertain looking animal which
proved to be stone blind. In addition,
1t was lean and run down generally.
On finding that the COW couldn't see,
the farmer who had been imposed
upon brought suit against my client
I questioned the man.
ibid you tell this farmer that the
COW was blindy
"'Indeed i did, protested my client,
with a sheepish look. 4 told him that
she didn't look well.'"
