Heard on 105.7 WROR "Men from Maine" series...

Ephus gets a job with the Maine census bureau and goes to a lady's house and asks, "Ma'am, how many children do you have?". To which she replies "10". Ephus asks, "What are their names?". To which the lady replies "Jebediah". "All of them? How do you call them? ", Ephus asks. "Yes" she says. "If I want to call them for dinner, I just say Jebediah, come home for dinner. And all of them come". "What if you want to call just one of them?", asks Ephus. To which the lady replies, "Then, I just call them by their last name!"
