Farmer Allen and the champagne punch tale
An anecdote from old camp days recalls Farmer Allen, a temperance advocate, entering a tent with a barrel of champagne punch. He samples repeatedly, becomes rosy and unsteady, then asks the boys if the punch tastes like a little of the staff. The tale, recounted by jolly elders, preserves his humorous misstep.
