    A visitor to a certain college paused to admire the new Hemingway Hall that had been built on campus.

    "It's a pleasure to see a building named for Ernest Hemingway," he said.

    "Actually," said his guide, "it's named for Joshua Hemingway. No relation."

    The visitor was astonished. "Was Joshua Hemingway a writer, also?"

    "Yes, indeed," said his guide. "He wrote a check."
