In Reply to: Oh, I think I've seen longer. Like the time I was trying to catch the ferry over to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville at the time. I was wearing an onion on my belt (it was the style of the time), but I couldn't find any white onions (there was a war on at the time), so I had to use a purple one... posted by graml on October 29, 2000 at 21:09:56:

: Where was I? Oh, right...Back then, the ferry cost five cents. And nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them! "Gimme five bees for a quarter" we'd say...

We had to say "dickety", 'cause the Kaiser stole our word for "twenty". I chased him through the hills, but gave up after dickety-six miles. . .
