Loading ...At a cabin way up in the mountains a very large family was seated around a big dinner table and as is customary there was no passing of food. When they wanted something they just stood up and reached for it. Since the table was so long, some of the reaches were pretty far.
One of the older boys was sitting at the end and wanted a slice of bread, so he stood up and reached all the way across the table for it. The father sitting on the side wrinkled his brow and said, “Ma, how old is Zeke now?” and Ma said, “Nigh on twenty I reckon, Pa.”
Pa thought for a few seconds, then very seriously said, “I think we should put pants on Zeke. Did you see what he just dragged through the soup?”
