- I heard a funny story about three men who were going to be hanged for murder one of them was an Irish man and the other was an English man and the other was a Scotch man. So the hang man asked them what tree they would like to be hanged on the English man said he would like to be hanged on an ash tree. The Scotch man said he would like to be hanged on an olk tree and the Irish man said he would like to be hanged on a [(illeg.)] Burn [?]bush and the man said to him that that was too small a bush the be hung on and he said if it please's you I will wait until it grows.
