When he showed up in the town that had produced a long string of great men he saw an old gentleman sitting on a rocking chair. The reporter approached the old man and told him of his findings. the old man smiled and said that he was aware. The reporter looked at the old man and asked exactly how many great men were born in the town. The old man looked to the reporter and with a twinkle in his eye said.

“None. Been a lot of babies born here, though,” the man said.
