Marge Palmer writes with more about that funny little ditty of contradictions.
"One dark day in the middle of the night two dead boys got up to fight; back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. Two deaf policemen heard the noise and came to shoot the two dead boys."
She says: "That's the way I remember it from Camp Hitanowa, Camp Fire Girls Camp in Litchfield, Maine, circa the 1940s."
Any other versions?
Pat Sherman writes with this story about her 18-year-old granddaughter, which shows how sometimes we country folks have a hard time understanding city ways.
Pat writes:
"She was raised by parents who burned wood, loved nature, home schooled and were real New Englanders. But this delightful child who plays the fiddle was accepted at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. So she decided to look at apartments vs. the dorm in hopes of making the best choice. As you can imagine, apartment hunting in Boston is a daunting challenge. But as she read the many ads she commented to her mother, 'Look! This apartment comes with DW -- dry wood!'"
