...address sheets and claimed the maximum of 110 delegates. Every time the committee attempted to invalidate addresses like "John Smith, Boone Country," the Kentucky state Y.D. chairman paced the room in his cowboy boots and hat and three piece white suit and protested that "Kentucky's got a lotta country folks got no address 'cept Boone County." The credentials committee finally gave in after the Kentuckians threatened to stall the entire convention by examining all the address sheets of other states for missing items like zip codes...

...Well, back about five years ago I started riding horses out on the outskirts of town. Then I weighed around 118-122, and I got to be a pretty good quarterhorse rider.
