A Groaner for a Thursday in August
Published Jan 01, 1900
Way down the Mississippi River, two tugboat captains who had been friends for years, would always cry, "Aye!" and blow their whistles whenever they passed each other.
A new crewman asked his boat's mate, "What do they do that for?"
The mate looked surprised and replied, "You mean that you've never heard of an aye for an aye and a toot for a toot?"
