An old negro man walked into a
store on election day and asked for a
landslide for turning pillow.
He was given what he wanted. The
old man took out some small change,
but not enough to pay the bill. and,
handing the money over, said:
'Boss, I'll jes' gin yer dis an let the
trick stay here for awhile till kin go
out an git up the yuther money"
Can you get the money in town."

"Oh, ! isn't voted yit.'

To remain single
And disappoint few women
For time,
Or marry
And disappoint one woman
