ARIZONA TALES

"But what happened to your partner and the bear, Mr. Dodd?' asked one of the ladies, impatiently."

"'Gosh! Do you know, today is the first time I remembered about old Mike for eight years. You know, I went back the next morning and him and the bear was both gone. Don't know if the bear eat him or if he simply got disgusted and pulled his freight out of there.'"

"The ladies stood up, and the biggest one of them says: 'Mr. Dodd, I am quite sure you are about the biggest liar that ever lived!' Then they all turn around and march out of there in military formation."
