Gilding

[Carl W. Meyer]

Jim!  It must have been one of them there southern boys who took a class in
algebra
when his friend asked him to say something in algebra he proudly said "Pie
are square".  
His friend said  "Boy!you sure are dumb! Pie are round!  Corn bread are
square!"

Don't lay any 'gilt' on me for that!
