  1. Speak Up Man

    Share Share Post
    One time there was a man and he was a great fiddler. When any man was getting married this man was asked as grooms' man. When the man was being married if he hesitated to answer any question the clergyman put him this man used to say, ''Speak up man.'' This became a habit of his and when at his own wedding he was asked by the clergyman some questions he turned to the grooms' man and said, ''Speak up man.''
