From : ed h
Q: so this fellow walks into a bar with a box under his arms places the box on the bar top and says to the bartender if i show you the most amazing think you have ever seen will you give me a free drink the bartender agrees. the fellow opens the box and inside is a little man and a little piano. he says to the little man play suwannee river. the bar is filled with the most beautiful version of suwannee river the bartender has ever heard so he give the fellow his free drink. the bartender asks where ever did you get that little man theres a genie in front of your bar granting wishes. the bartender runs out side then returns a few minutes later followed by a long line of ducks. after many minutes the bar is full of ducks. the bartender resumes his place behind the bar and asks the fellow why didnt you tell me the genie was hard of hearing i asked for a million bucks and he gave me a million ducks! do you think i asked for a 10 inch pianist -- it is the soldier not the reporter who has given use freedom of press it is the soldier not the poet who has given us freedom of speech it is the soldeir not the campus organizer who gives us freedom to demonstrate it is the soldier who salutes the flag who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag and who allows the protestor to burn the flag. --father denis edward obrien .
