I have no idea why I like that, but I do!

There is a long piece by Mark Twain that Hal Holbrook does. It is an imaginary interview with Twain by a reporter about the death of his brother. I looked for it online. Henri Bergson quotes it in his famous book on laughter.

This works only if you read it out loud.
Deep in a little clearing in the woods grew a beech tree and a birch tree.
Between the beech tree and the birch tree grew a sapling.
Some thought that the sapling was a son of a beech.
Some thought that the sapling was a son of birch.
So the debate raged between those who thought that the sapling was a son of a birch and those who thought the sapling was a son of beech.
Finally the disputants called in an expert to determine whether the sapling was a son of beech or a son of a birch.
They called for a woodpecker to determine what the sapling was, a son of a birch or a son of a beech.
The woodpecker drilled into the sapling and tasted the wood.
He savored the moment.
Everyone waited to learn what the woodpecker would say. Was the sapling was a son of a birch or was it the son of a beech? What would the woodpecker say?
Fianlly, the woodpecker rendered his judgment.
This is what the woodpecker said, “I can tell you that the sapling is not a son of a birch nor is it the son of a beech, but it is the best piece of ash I have ever had.”

There's the story about a lumberjack who came down from the hills once a year to buy provisions and have his handsaw sharpened. One year the hardware store salesman sold him a new, heavy-duty power chain saw.
A year later the lumberjack angrily brought the saw back to the store. "It's no darn good," he complained. I've been sawin' and sawin,' and it don't saw a bit better than my old one."
"Let me try," the storekeeper said. After a few yanks on the starter code, the motor roared aloud. Shocked, the lumberjack cried out, "What's that noise?!"
