Presidents' Day

Little known facts:

Abraham Lincoln drove around Washington in a car he called the Lincoln Continental convertible. Known to his college buddies as “A-Linc,” Lincoln always complained that Washington and Jefferson got all the presidential publicity while he was largely neglected.

George Washington never chopped down a cherry tree; he did, however, use cherry wood for his false teeth. And it’s true that he never told a lie except for that one time when Martha asked him if they were lost.” No.” he had replied.

Rutherford B. Hayes had a wart on his ass the size of an acorn.

Calvin Coolidge refused to speak during his last two years in the White House. “A President should be seen and not heard,” he had once said before the grand silence. Foreign relations actually improved during those years.

William Howard Taft, our most obese president, once jailed a reporter for calling him “President Fat Ass.”

John F. Kennedy regaled himself and others by farting at state dinners and then pointing to the visiting dignitaries.
