DR. A. B. Heyl claims that the old
est Joke is the one about the angler
who wanted to go fishing on the Wiz
glnia side Of Chesapeake bay, and who
found a colored man asleep in a boat.
The fisherman woke the darkey and
made arrangements to rent the boat for
the day. He got into the boat and
said TO the darky, "Can YOU row." "No
sab" replied the darky The fisher
man then took the oars and rowcd
about four miles out to the spawning
ground, while the darky curlcd up in
the stern OF the boat and went asleep
That afternoon the fisherman rowcd
the boat back. His hands were COW
cred with blisters and he was swearing
like a trooper When c reached shore
he paid the darky and stepped out Of
the boat. The darky then took the oars
and began rowing the boat toward town
like a professional sculler. Hey =
sslled the fisherman, "I asked you il
you could row, and you told me YOU
couldn't" "Oh," replied the darky
YOU all meant row a boat didn't you
thought you all meant could ro
