A LITTLE HUMOR

My good friend and former business associate, R.A. Green, was one of thirteen children in the Green
family.

Someone asked him why his parents chose to have so many children? His reply was, “Well, you know
mama was a little bit hard of hearing. When she and daddy would go to bed at night, most times he
would ask her, “Do you want to go to sleep or what.” Since her hearing was so bad she usually said,
“What” and I guess that’s why there are thirteen of us.
