Vernon Gray, a Howard County Councilman, was running for Vice President of a nationwide county association. The story's going around that he chartered a bus for some of the delegates and took them to a farm in the western part of the county.

"This is how I stay in shape." he told his guests. "Just working on the farm. Today I have to put in the hay."

When they reached the barn, there was no hay waiting to be thrown into the mow. "Hey Samuel !" Vernon shouted. "Where's the hay ?"

A voice from inside the barn replied, "Sorry Vernon, I ain't had no time to throw it back down since you forked it up for all those newspaper reporters yesterday."
