The Official Friday Silliness Thread |
I submit to you, two presidents, two assassins, two centuries, and one hell of a coincidence.
I know this sounds like the Twilight Zone but it's more like the X-files.
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both were shot in the head.
Here is the interesting one.......
Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners.
Both successors were named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are made of fifteen letters.
Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
And last but not least........
A week before Lincoln was shot he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot he was in Marilyn Monroe.

Three rednecks were working up on a cell phone tower: Cooter, Ronnie and Donnie. As they start their descent, Cooter slips, falls off the tower and is killed instantly.
As the ambulance takes the body away, Ronnie says, ‘Well, darn, someone should go and tell his wife.
Donnie says, ‘OK, I’m pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I’ll do it.’
Two hours later, he comes back carrying a case of Budweiser.
Ronnie says, ‘Where did you get that beer, Donnie?’
Cooter’s wife gave it to me,’ Ronnie replies.
‘That’s unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you beer?’
Well, not exactly’, Donnie says. ‘When she answered the door, I said to her, you must be Cooter’s widow.’
She said, ‘You must be mistaken, I’m not a widow.’
Then I said, ‘I’ll bet you a case of Budweiser you are.’
Rednecks Are Good At Sensitive Stuff.

August 8th is my birthday. I was born at 08:00 and weighed 8lb, 8oz.
Since that time, the number eight has left me completely alone. That’s a good thing, I suppose.

I viewed them all, and the other 50 (there’s a link) and they missed the one I will show in my next reply.
One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda’s eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay and Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.
The man called the paramedics who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head.
A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head.
When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out but quickly recovered.
Linda is a Democrat and an Obama supporter but that could be irrelevant.

In case you've never listened to much of CoastToCoastAm -- the most listened-to night time radio show in the country -- I was not kidding about crackpot regular guests and host, George Norry.
Tonight (7 Aug) Alex Jones was on with a story that VP Cheney ordered some small boats built that matched Iranian military boats. His plan was to order our Navy Seals to attack our Navy off the coast of Iran using those boats.
Our Navy, not knowing that it's their own men, will blast those boats to pieces killing all the Navy Seals -- and giving the "neo-cons" the excuse to go to war with Iran for attacking our ships.
The bankers are behind all this but for some reason the plan was scraped.
