Ford: Say, Tee, do you know
that me and my brother Bill
bought cow together on a half
and half basis, and my brother
Bill had more sense than I did?
Brother Bill took the hind end of
the cow, so I took the head. So,
'tether day I heard that the cow
was giving plenty of milk and I
sent my little boy to my brothers
house and told him to send me
some milk. The boy came back
crying and said that his uncle Bill
would not give him the milk, so
I killed my half of the COW and
my brothers half died. So we
lost the cow, do you blame me? I
was satisfied just like times 8
