Up in Maine, the heirs of an ec
centric character were trying to
break his will. “And did you ever
hear this man talking to himself
when he was alone?” the heirs’
attorney asked a witness.
“No, sir,” said the state-of
Mainer in the box. “I never was
with him when he was alone.”
They call it “quick as a wink”
because it is the world’s quickest
way to get yourself into trouble.
