Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peck's Uncle Ike and the Red Headed Boy: Also, Sunbeams; Humor, Sarcasm and Sense St. Peter about getting inside the gate, because, if his stutter ever got St. Peter to laughing, my friend would surely get in. Well, he died, and I was one of the bearers at the funeral, with seven others of his old friends and when the minister was picturing the virtues of the deceased which he never possessed, one of the bouquets on the coffin rolled off on the oor, and I thought of what my friend had said about calling the minister down, and in my imagination I could see the old fellow raising up in the coffin and stuttering, and puckering up his face there on that solemn occasion, and for about ten seconds it seemed as though I would split with laughter; but I held it in, and we got the good old genius buried all right, but it was a terrible strain on my vest buttons, and the old smoker lighted another match on his trousers and started the pipe, which had grown cold as he talked of the stuttering remains.
