  Have you ever wondered who first uttered the phrase   "You Gotta Be
Shittin Me?"     Well, it just so happens to have originated through the
Father of Our country, way back when George Washington was crossing the
Delaware river with his troops.     There were 33 (remember this number) in
Washington's boat.  It was   extremely dark and storming furiously and the
water was tossing them   about.     Finally, Washington grabbed Corporal
Peters (remember this name) 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 driving rain and cold, continued
swinging the lantern back and forth, back and forth.     Then a big gust of
wind and a 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 that they must go on.     Another hour later, one
of his men said, 'General, I see lights ahead.'   They trudged toward 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 am General George Washington
and these are my men.  We are tired, wet, exhausted, and   desperately need
warmth and comfort.'     Again, the Madam looked at all the men standing
there, and with a broad smile on her face, said, 'Well, General, you have
come to the right place.   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 shittin me.'
