This is the funniest thing I’ve read in years.

Enjoy.

Hal Holbrook’s “Mark Twain Tonight” one-man show included this marvelous story. I had the good fortune to experience it as a teenager on TV, and it has remained one of my all-time favorite TV experiences.

Such a great book. And I’d say that even if I weren’t a Nevadan who loves all the places Sam Clemens did a little “Roughing It” in. :)

Some of the best writing we’ve seen on FR in many years :-)

The whole book is hilarious. As a young man, I wore out more than one copy.

Sounds Mark Twainish.
