ONE FULL OUTHOUSE
One little detail makes all the difference… When Harry was a young boy in Louisiana, he was always getting into trouble. One morning while waiting for the school bus, he pushed the outhouse into the bayou and went off for school as if nothing had happened. When he returned, his father was waiting for him. He said, “Son did you push the outhouse into the bayou?” “Yes, Father,” said Harry, “like George Washington, I cannot tell a lie.” Harry’s father took off his belt and said, “All right, son, bend over. I’m going to have to whip you.” Harry tried to explain that Mr. Washington didn’t spank George when he admitted chopping down the cherry tree. “Yes, son,” said Harry’s father, “but George’s father wasn’t in the tree.” The Executive Speechwriter Newsletter, p. 8
