  1. From “The Lost Memoirs of Senator Kefuaver F. Tutwiller, IV (1823-1913):

    “In 1850’s, Flash Trading on my Aroostook Potato Exchange actually included a Most Swiftish Horse named Flash…. Riding Flash at incredible Speed, I sniffed out new stores of Potatoes faster than you could say “Jiminy!!” Alas, Just as with Icarus, My Heady Ride soon came to a Most Ignominious End.” (Below)
