[Ads-l] shaggy dog story, 1918

[Stephen Goranson]

The South Bend News-Times, Sept. 22, 1918 p. 8 col. a, in a theater review:

The next scene reveals the superior court at Reno, which isn't so darn superior, as the fellow said about the shaggy dog. (Note--shaggy dog story will be mailed on application to editor.)
