The young south finally answer
ed the old south's taunt with the
best reply ever devised for a
stupid question.
When Grand Dragon Green of
the states khan group was per-
mitted to speaking before the

the upper hand, Green fell back
on the old standby, "a Negro
will ask to marry your daughter"

best reply yet: "She can always
say no." the hecklers chorused
in unison. To this the ancient
south had no answer.
