Old Stuff
A stranger, walking along the road, passed an old darkey. He began talking with him and found out that he had known George Washington.
“I suppose you remember when Washington crossed the Delaware?” he asked.
“’Deed, boss, I steered dat boat,” was the reply.
“And do you remember when he took a hack at that cherry tree?”
“’Deed I do,” the darkey replied, “’case I drove that hack myself.”
