It seems a fellow was getting tired as he drove his horse and buggy down the road, so he stopped at this little farm house. He knocked on the door and this lady answered. When he explained his situation, she said, "Take your horse in the barn and tell my husband that I said to put him up for the night. Then come to the house for supper." so he went in the barn, and the only one around there was this black man. He thought it must be the hired man. He told him, "The lady of the house wanted me to take my horse in here to her husband to put up for the night". So he said "OK, I'll take care of it for ya". So he went back to the house and said to the lady, "I couldn't find your husband,but your hired man is putting up my horse". She laughed and said, "Well, that is my husband, we don't have a hired man". This guy was shocked. "You mean you married a black man", he said. "I'll bet your parents were mad at you". "Oh no", she said." They thought I did better than either of my two sisters, and they are both married to Norwegians".
Some years later, I met a Scotch-Irish Gal#. Although I heard a lot of stories about them. I never told her any of them.
