Reagan’s last joke
Various

Posted on 08/11/2025 1:29:36 PM PDT by Leaning Right

This is supposedly the last joke that Ronald Reagan told in public. It was at an event in 1994. He was quite a remarkable man.

The joke is in post #1.

I watched. It looks genuine. A couple of weeks ago there was a supposed Reagan joke going around and it turned out to be AI.

Yeah unfortunately there are a bunch of those now too. Those of us older netizens can recognize the pre-AI originals as legit. The newer AI ones are pretty easy to spot if you had the pleasure of viewing the originals, since the new ones are not as smooth, don't reproduce Reagan's characteristic verbal pacing, and so forth.

I was born and raised a Democrat, which was how I voted until Reagan came along. As I listened to him debating Carter I remember thinking, “Damn, I’m a Republican!”

Can’t remember who he was corresponding with, but he told a story about writing to some Russian dude a d saying “my movie such and such will premier on such and such a date... I’m inviting you and a friend... if you have one”

The Russian dude wrote back “Sorry I won’t be able to attend the opening night. I’ll be there on the next night... if there is one” 😆

(Note, paraphrased, as it was a long time ago I heard the story)
