Who was Abe Davis?

"The screamingly-funny,
And those who are very well hung."


Well I guess me being two out of four isn't too bad. :-D
But if this is true then I should have died a long time ago and Ollie is gonna live for one hell of a long time. :smt082

I could only find one "nugget" while googling for Abe Davis

Here is the nugget:
"As legend has it, Abe Davis, a slave in pre-Civil War Florida, covered 50 feet in an underwater cave just holding his breath; the National Speleological Society presents an award in his name to all who log 100 safe cave dives."

I like your version better but here is a link to that text
