Re: people being narrators
When I was working at a 600` Lock on the Ohio River deckhands on the tows would
sometimes tell me a joke, and if I thought it was real good I would tell it to
other deckhands as other tows came through the Lock.
After telling it 3 or 4 times I would finally tell the joke as well as I heard
it told to me.
