Short Piece of Revolutionary War History During the Revolutionary War, there were British sympathizers known as Tories among the colonists. Some of them would work hand-in-hand with the Redcoats to try to foil the battle plans of the Continental Army. After a certain skirmish, a group of General Washington's men tracked one of these sympathizers to a farm, which they searched for hours without success. A militiaman then came up with the idea to release a hen into a barn where they suspected the fugitive might be hiding. Sure enough, loud cackling and commotion quickly ensued, and the soldiers were finally able to take their prisoner into custody. This was the first known instance where someone had a chicken catch a Tory....

Ooh, you've got my attention. What a novel idea!

Hey, any chance you know what skirmish that was?

Thanks

[BLUEHAWK]

Well, I thought I knew.

Where do I go wrong?

That was the Fight at Pun's Farm. The men were from the Rhode Island Red Regiment and were led by Col. Foghorn Leghorn.

[BLUEHAWK]

Shoot... I missed that one.

[Liberty1775]

Alright, I give up!

Hey, revwardoc, when and where did the battle at Pun's farm occur?
Honestly, when I read your post, I thought you were joking.
I mean Foghorn Leghorn? Sounds like a Warner Bros. Cartoon to me!

Thanks guys

[revwardoc]

That's exactly what it was!

A University of Texas football player was seen wandering the U's library. One of the librarians asked if he needed some assistance.

"Yes", he said. "I have to read a play by Shakespeare."

The librarian asked, "Which one?"

He answered, "William".

Oh, sure! Thanks a lot! Ha, ha.

So is this some other initiation test? Bat the newbie around?

I just knew it was too wacky to be true.

The Divorced Barbie Doll

One day a father gets out of work and on his way home he suddenly remembers that it's his daughter's birthday. He pulls over to a Toy Shop and asks the sales person, 'How much for one of those Barbie's in the display window?' The salesperson answers, 'Which one do you mean, Sir? We have: Work Out Barbie for $19.95, Shopping Barbie for $19.95, Beach Barbie for $19.95, Disco Barbie for $19.95, Ballerina Barbie for $19.95, Astronaut Barbie for $19.95, Skater Barbie for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $265.95'.

The amazed father asks: 'It's what?! Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.95 and the others only $19.95?'

The annoyed salesperson rolls her eyes, sighs, and answers: 'Sir..., Divorced Barbie comes with: Ken's Car, Ken's House, Ken's Boat, Ken's Furniture, Ken's Computer, one of Ken's Friends, and a key chain made with Ken's balls.
