Who was Abe Davis?

[Cave Ranger]

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


Well I guess me being two out of four isn't too bad.
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.

Ollie is gonna live for one hell of a long time.

How can you say that, he is the funniest guy on the forum...

Neither Google nor Yahoo searches turn up anything. He's not on Wikipedia. So I'm asking anyone who knows more about him than I do to respond and tell us about him.

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
