Sometimes the boards get so serious and laughter is great medicine. I decided to bring some humor in. I hope this doesn't offend anyone

Have you ever wondered where the phrase, "You gotta be ****tin me" came from? Well, it just so happens to have originated through the Father of our Country.
Seriously. Way back, George Washington was crossing the Delaware River with his troops.
There were 33 in Washington's boat. It was extremely dark and storming furiously and the water
was tossing them about. Finally, Washington grabbed Corporal Peters and stationed him at the front of the boat with a lantern.
He ordered him to keep swinging it so they could see where they were heading.
Corporal Peters, through the driving rain and cold, continued swinging the lantern back and forth, back and forth.
Then a big gust of wind and wave hit and threw Corporal Peters and his lantern into the Delaware.
Washington and his troops searched for nearly an hour trying to find Corporal Peters, but to no avail.
All of them felt terrible, for the corporal had been one of their favorites.
Sometime later, Washington and his troops landed on the other side, wet and totally exhausted.
He rallied the troops and told them they must go on. Another hour later, one of his men said,
"General, I see lights ahead!"
They trudged towards the lights and came upon a huge house.
What they didn't know was that this was a house of ill repute hidden in the forest to serve all who came. General Washington pounded on the door, his men crowding around him.
The door swung open, and much to his surprise stood a beautiful woman.
A huge smile came across her face to see so many men standing there.
Washington was the first to speak, "Madam, I'm General George Washington and these are my men.
We're tired, wet, exhausted and desperately need warmth and comfort."
Again, the Madam looked at all the men standing there, and with a broad smile said,
'We can surely give you warmth and comfort. How many men do you have?" Washington replied, "Well, madam, there are 32 of us without Peters." And the Madam said, "You gotta be ****tin me!"
