there were these three boys walking through a dark mystical forest when a troll came out of nowhere, threw a blue scarf on one of the boys and devoured him right in front of the other two...The two remaining, ran for thier lives.
After a brief chase, the troll catches another and throws a blue scarf on him and devours him.

The third, standing in disbelief hollers at the beast, " Why are you throwing a blue scarf on us and then eating us?" the Troll replied, "everything tastes better with blue bonnet on it..."

William Penn, the founder and mayor of Philadelphia, had two aunts - Hattie and Sophia - who were skilled in the baking arts. One day, "Big Bill" was petitioned by the citizens of his town because the three bakeries in the town had, during the Revolution, raised the price of pies to the point that only the rich could afford them.

Not wanting to challenge the bakeries directly, he turned to his aunts and asked their advice. But when they had heard the story, the two old ladies were so incensed over the situation that they offered to bake 100 pies themselves, and sell them for 2 cents lower that any of the bakeries were charging.

It was a roaring success. Their pies sold out quickly, and very soon they had managed to bring down the price of all kinds of pastry in Philadelphia.

In fact, even to this very day, their acheivements are remembered as the remarkable Pie rates of Penn's aunts.
