re: #265 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Dunno. Longfellow made Paul Revere into a pop star with the poem. But the real ride was made by Israel Bissell.

According to “Assume the Position” with Mr. Wuhl, Israel Bissell sounded like a Jewish Vacuum Cleaner salesperson and wasn’t possible to rhyme properly…

“Gather ‘round children, while I give a little whistle;
While I tell y’all the story of Israel Bissell”…

I heard that the “real ride” was actually made by a woman.
