I-IUMOROLIS TRANGE as it may seem, we always associate the story of the cherry tree with George Washington, our first president. Perhaps this tale of Washington's cutting down his fafher's favorite tree developed from the rumors about his appetite. I have heard that he had a reputation for sitting at the table for as long as two hours after meals feasting on apples and nuts. It must be that even great men love to eat. Also, at Valley Forge, midst the hunger and intense suffering, the soldiers remarked that Washington blessed God for a good stomach and thanked heaven that he was able to digest the meager food. Here's hoping that even the innocent freshman may digest these Aegis jokes and join in on the fun poked at themselves, their most detested or beloved teachers, or their school pals or foes. You are now about to enter the spice of the book and may these jokes hold as much zest for you as those cherries must have held for Washington when he chopped down his fatheris favorite tree with his little hatchet.
