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 theywere 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.'
