"Back years ago there were a couple of brothers named Devlin who owned transfer (moving and cartage) companies in Parkersburg.... Peter Devlin used to sign all his checks with an M. D. after his name. And folks got to getting after him about that. 'Why do you put M. D. after your name?' people asked him. 'You're no doctor.' "Never said I was", Devlin snapped back. 'Then what's the M. D. for?' 'Mule Driver!'
