An Englishman a Scotsman & a Hebrew were sentanced to be hung down Texas way. The judge said I will grant you all one favour on which old tree would you like to pass away. The scotsman choose the pear tree & died happy. The englishman said any old tree will do soon the old oak they put his lights out. When suddenly these words came from the jew,hang me please on the gooseberry tree it's the tree that is dearest to me it's my dying request it's the tree I love best hang me please on the gooseberry tree. Said the judge to old mose dont you know that the gooseberry trees much to low. I dont care said old mose I can wait til it grows to the size of the old apple tree.
