                         The American Way


             .-"""""""-.    There was an Englishman, an Irishman and
           .'       __  \_     an American caught in a storm in the
          /        /  \/  \         country.  They spied a big old
         |         \_0/\_0/______       house just off the road, to
         |:.          .'       oo`\        which they ran for shelter.

    Plucking up his courage, the Englishman crept into the hallway,
    and there, on a small table, lay a 1000 dollar note.  As he
    reached out a greedy hand to take the money, a sepulchral voice
    rang out, "I'm the ghost of Abel Mabel, that 1000 dollar note
    must stay on the table!"

    With a shriek of terror, the Englishman dashed out of the house,
    past his two companions and into the storm.  The Scotsman looked
    at the American, shrugged, and crept cautiously into the hallway.
    He also saw the 1000 dollar note and stretched out a hand to steal
    it.  And again, that awful, disembodied voice rang out, "I'm the
    ghost of Abel Mabel, that 1000 dollar note must stay on the table!"

    The Scotsman, his nerve shattered, dashed out of the house,
    yelling with fright, and into the storm.

    The American looked after him, squared his shoulders, and marched
    into the hallway.  There lay the 1000 dollar note, and the American
    also could not resist the temptation.  As his hand stretched
    towards the note, the strange voice rang out for a third time,
    "I'm the ghost of Abel Mabel, that 1000 dollar note must stay on
    the table!"

    To which the American replied, "I'm the descendent of Davy
    Crockett - that $1000 dollar note belongs in my pocket!"
