To: Diana in Wisconsin
I memorized his 'Gettysburg Address.' I would recite it to myself while running.

What office were you running for, Diana?

Was this Miller's Gettysburg Address? Is it in the phone book?

Or was it Lincoln's, which as you know he wrote while riding to Gettysburg on the back of an envelope?

(Sorry, that schoolboy answer always cracked me up.)

I always though that he went by train. History really is something!
