One morning a little boy while waiting for the school bus decided
that he would push the outhouse over the cliff.
This he did, and went off to school as if nothing had happened.
When he returned, his father was waiting for him.
"Son," the father asked, "did you push the outhouse over the cliff?"
"Yes, father," said Harry, "like George Washington, I cannot tell a lie."
His father took called his belt and said, "All right, son, bend over.
I'm going to give you the whipping of your life."
Harry tried to explain that Mr. Washington didn't spank George
when he admitted chopping down the cherry tree.
"Yes, son," said Harry's father,
"but George Washinton's father wasn't in the cherry tree."
