  1. A funny story
    This is another funny story told about Tommie Kelighredy. He went to the fair this day and he got drunk and when he came home he went to bed. The next morning he got up very early and he went to town again for more drink and he met a guard. He was about six feet six inches in height. He was driving a lot of asses to the pound and he said to Tommie "Are not these a very small breed of asses" and Tommie said it's only the big asses that gained the force
