Loading ...DID YOU EVER HEAR THE EXPRESSION: YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING? THIS IS HOW IT ORIGINATED:
George Washington was traveling with his troops at Valley Forge. They were cold, hungry and tired. One of the soldiers asks General Washington when they can stop to get some food and rest.
Washington tells them he’ll stop at the next house he sees.
At the house, he knocks on the door and asks the lady if she can give his men food and rest. The poor woman says that she is very sorry because she can’t afford to give so much food away, but she will take one soldier. General Washington looks and then tells Sargeant Cox to stay behind.
The troops continue riding until they come to another house in the woods. In that house is a madam and her prostitutes. The madam gathers her girls as soon as she sees the troops and answers the door. Washington asks whether she can accommodate the troops and she says she can. By the way she asks, “How many are you?” Washington turns around and then looks back at her. We’re 99 without Cox.”
“You’ve got to be kidding!!!!!!!”
