This is my uncle's favorite joke. There are two drunks walking down a railroad track. The first drunk says "this is the longest stairway I have ever seen." The second drunk replies "I don't mind that, but these low handrails are killing my back." He probably told me this joke a dozen times, and I would laugh each time. Jerry Clower once said,"I don't tell funny stories. I tell stories funny." My uncle could tell stories funny and that is why you would laugh even if you had already heard the joke before. He passed away several years ago, but I was thinking about him today. When a person leaves this world all that is left of you is pictures and words on a page. People may study the pictures and the words, but they never really know you. They will never know he could tell a story funny or that he loved trains!
