One time, Abraham Lincoln, drawled as he read a story of a certain king who wanted to go hunting, and asked the court minister if it would rain. The minister told him the weather would be fair. Setting out, the royal party met a farmer riding a jackass. He warned the king that it was going to rain. The king laughed, went on, and no sooner got started hunting than a heavy downpour drenched him and his party. He went back, there out the minister, and called for the farmer.

“Tell me how you knew it would rain”

“I did not know, Your Majesty, it is not me. It is my jackass. He puts his ear forward when it it is going to be wet”.

The king sent the farmer away, had the jackass brought and put in place of the minister.

“It was here”, said Lincoln, “the king made a great mistake”.

“How so? asked someone of the audience.

“Why, ever since that time, every jack ass wants an office. Gentlemen, leave your credentials with me and when the war is over you will hear from me.”

Urgent!

A certain Colonel on the staff of Governor died suddenly. Many applicants for this post were clamouring to be heard. Before even the funeral had taken place, one of these managed to detain the Governor for a moment, asking “Would you object to my taking  the place of the  Colonel?”

“Not at all”, snapped the Governor. “Speak to the undertaker.”
