"I will never forgive Abe for what he did to my beloved South during the Civil War."

Aha, a Southerner! My greatttttttttt-Grandfather was with the 5th Wisconsin Infantry and took 3 bullets at Spotsylvania Courthouse (and surprisingly, survived). I feel like you owe me some cash. You know, in reparation for his medical bills.

If people are going to be expected to take responsibility for the actions of people that died decades ago, well, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't get to make a buck off it. In this case you need to pay for your ancestors' uncharacteristically crappy aim, only winging old Lemuel who was by all accounts, an a-hole who said Bon Voyage to his family after the war and went west with the railroads. I imagine his nickname was "gimpy" or "stumpy" or something along those lines.

“Lemual” is a pretty cool name!

I have a weakness, and that is making the same lame comment on every thread about the Japanese Prime Minister, who has the unfortunate name of “Abe”.

Where’s a Japanese John Wilkes Booth when you need him?
