Reagan: It's a story about a woman who walked into a bridal shop one day and told the sales clerk that she was looking for a wedding gown for her fourth wedding.

Well the saleswoman asked, "Just exactly what type of dress are you looking for?"

"A long, flowing white dress with a veil," she responded with assurance.

Not totally convinced, but afraid to offend the woman, the sales lady said, "You know, dresses of that nature are usually more appropriate for brides who are being married for the first time -- for those a bit more innocent, if you know what I mean."

Well the lady retorted and put her hand on her hip, "I do know what you mean and I can assure you I'm as innocent as the rest of them, despite all of my marriages. I remain as innocent as any first-time bride. You see my husband was a dear, sweet man. It was a terrible tragedy, actually. All of the excitement of the wedding was simply too much for him and he died as we checked into the hotel on our wedding night."

"I'm sorry to hear that," said the clerk, "but what about the others?"

"Well my second husband and I got into a terrible fight in the limousine on the way to our wedding reception. We haven't spoken since -- and got the marriage quickly annulled."

"What about your third husband?" asked the store clerk.

"Well," the woman replied, "he was a Democrat and every night for four years he just sat on the edge of the bed and told me how good it was going to be."

“What about your third husband?” asked the store clerk.

“Well,” the woman replied, "he was a Democrat, and every night for four years, he just sat on the edge of the bed and told me how good it was going to be” …
Indeed, as he waited for her to fall asleep from boredom so he could sneak out of the house to be with his male lover.

I liked his reply when asked if he ever did anything wrong or stupid and he said well, yes. You see, I used to be a Democrat.

I didn’t think there was any Reagan joke I haven’t heard, but there it is.

Our greatest President! IMHO...
Tax cuts...Rebuilt the Navy...Destroyed the Soviet Union...Greatest Inauguration events ever...

If only he hadn’t fallen for the Democrats’ lie about illegal migration...

Reagan wrote a lot of his own stuff. He was one of the first people who wore contact lenses in the US. When he was giving a speech he would use index cards that had the speech highlights on them. Reagan would pop out one contact lens and look at the crowd with one eye while reading the card with the other.

See the book “Reagan In His Own Hand” for more.

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)
