Sorry, but I fail to see the humor in the success story of this man. That fact that state of Tennesee embraced him so lovingly is hardly a cause for laughter.
Unless....you feel he is unworthy of such an honor......

Have I missed anything, or does that just about cover your lack of amusement?
<--- that's a reminder that I'm just joking. I didn't really think that Mr. Reed was your father.
