A fellow and his wife living in Houston, Texas, where the
people are all patriots, were blessed with the birth of
twins, two identical girls. These twins were born on the 4th
of July, and the father, being patriotic, said to his wife,
"We will name them Liberty and Justice, after the pledge of
alligence".
His wife said, "Are you nuts? You can't have girls going
through life with names like Liberty and Justice. We are
going to name them regular girl's names like Mary or Jane".
Well, the argument went on for about a month, when a compro-
mise was reached. They would each name one of the girls. The
man chose Liberty and the wife picked Elizabeth.
As the girls grew, they were so identical, they kept pulling
tricks on people who couldn't tell them apart.
Finally, when they were about 18, a young man took interest
in them. He would take one out on a date but he was never
sure which one he was with.
He decided he would marry at least one of them, but he wasn't
sure which one he would marry.
He went to the girls father and explained his quandry.
"I love your daughters and want to marry one of them, but I
can't tell them apart, so I will leave it up to you...
Give me Liberty or give me Beth."
