   Another version:   
      
   It seems the young Trump received a new kitchen knife and used it   
   to slice up his father Fred's prized Rogue River Blue cheese,   
   ruining it. The senior Trump demanded to know how the cheese got   
   ruined. The young Donald says he was tempted to lie his ass off,   
   but then, looking at his father with the sweet face of youth   
   brightened with the inexpressible charm of all-conquering truth,   
   he bravely cried out, "I cannot tell a lie. I did cut the cheese!"   
      
   --   
   In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Mississippi has   
   shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles.  Therefore ... in the Old   
   Silurian Period the Mississippi River was upward of one million three hundred   
   thousand miles long ... seven hundred and forty-two years from now the   
   Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long.  ... There is   
   something fascinating about science.  One gets such wholesome returns of   
   conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.
