And the Winner Is....

Back about thirty year ago we had these two brothers what was always trying to see what one were the best. They was the Dunnawort brothers and they would throw down the dime on anything one or the other could think of to wager on. They fought about who could run the fastest, what one had the dog what could eat the most hamburgers, whose wife could lose the most weight in one month, and even what one could swim across Harper Lake the fastest. The older brother got caught about twenty foot from the other side and the younger one had to swim back and drag him to safety. But the darnest bet of all were what one would outlive the other. They found this knot hole in a tree and each one put a silver dollar in with the idea that the one what lived longer would come down and collect. Well, as it happened the younger brother kicked off first and after the sadness settled down the older one went down to the tree to collect his reward. When he reached down into the hole all he found were a note. The note said, "I figured you'd go first so I went ahead and taken the money and bought myself a couple of beers. If you find this note I'll leave it up to you who won."
