2008 04 26
Ed comment: This is an ”oldie”, but reprinted here for those who haven’t
heard/read it already. It’s a reminder that something really …”interesting” is going on :)
Thanks
to Steve Willner for sending it my way.
Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.
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.
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 Presidents were shot in the head
Now it gets really weird.
Lincoln 's secretary was named
Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded
by Southerners 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.
Well... no need for a disclaimer on this one... you know what's going on!
Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Now hang
on to your seat.
Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made
by 'Ford.'
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a
warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
And
here's the kicker...
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot,
he was in Marilyn Monroe.
