As an outlaw was about to be hanged, he was asked by the hangman if he had any last words. The outlaw said he did and started, "I was framed by the Freemasons!" "What do you mean?", asked the hangman. "The guy who said I stole his horse is a Freemason. The sheriff is a Freemason. The posse had 11 of 12 men who are Freemasons. The jury that tried me had 12 Freemasons and to top it off, the judge was a Freemason. I was framed by the Masons!!!" The hangman asked if there was any more the horse thief wanted to say and the answer being, "No", the hangman said, "Take one step with your left foot." |
