  1. The Last Rally

    Share Share Post
    One very warm day an old man went to open a grave. When he had it half opened he lay down in it and fell asleep.
    The mail car passed and the sound of its whistle wakened the man. He thought it was Gabriel blowing the trumpet. Up he got and scratched his head and said he "its a poor show for Kirkintilloch if I'm the only man to rise from the dead on the last day"
