Excerpt from Flatlanders and Ridgerunners:Out-Riddling the JudgeBack in Prohibition my uncle made moonshine. His name was Moses Kenny and his whiskey--they called it "e;White Mule"e; was the best in the county. Well, the feds got after him and finally they arrested him. Took him to a federal judge down in Philadelphia.Now, the judge liked a good time and thought he'd have a little fun with this hick from the mountains. When Uncle came into court, he said, "e;are you the Moses who can make the sun dark?"e;Moses looked at him and said slowly, "e;Nope, your honor. But I am the Moses who can make the moon shine."e;The judge let him go.
