Homeward bound at the end of the war, a Confederate soldier saw a beautiful woman and was about to go over and introduce himself when a fellow train passenger pushed him aside, sat down next to her and crudely offered her two dollars for sex. Immediately the soldier jumped up and shot the carpetbagger right between the eyes.

Looking at the woman, he snarled, "First they freed the slaves, then they won the war, but I'll be damned of they're going to start raising prices!"
