An English man a Scotsman and a Hebrew were sentenced to be hung down Texas way They each could choose a tree they wished to die on and they started with the Scotsman right away The Scotsman chose a fir tree and died happy The Englishman said any tree will do, so on an apple tree they put his lights out, when Suddenly these words came from the Jew Hang me please on a gooseberry tree, it’s the tree I have long wished to be It’s the tree I like best, it’s my dying request, Hang me please on a gooseberry tree. The judge said but surely you know The gooseberry tree is too low The Jew says I know, I will wait till it grows Hang me please on a gooseberry tree.
