Jest as I wuz a-meditatin' this Josiah spoke up, and sez, "I won't pay out no two dollars apiece to ride in it." And I sez, "I kinder want to go up in it, and I kinder don't want to." And he sez, "That is jest like wimmen whifflin', onstabled, weak-livered." Sez I, "I believe you're afraid to go up in it."
