Lincoln Kennedy Riff

The Lincoln Kennedy Riff



I just received this from my daughter, topic "Biz R"  Another sign I'm getting old. Are any of you seeing this for the first time? Just wondering. It popped up about 6 months after Kennedy's assassination in 1963,
STORY LESSON:
  • 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 Preside nts were shot on a Friday.
  • Both Presidents were shot in the head.
  • You ready? Here we go.
  • 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, wh o 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.
  • 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.

  2. Oh yeah, it got re-run after Reagan was shot too, the curse of the 1980 election year ending in zero- or something like that.

  5. Prior to WWII the anti-war idiots refused to do anything meaningful about Hitler.
    Today, the anti-war idiots refuse to do anything meaningful about Ahmadinejad.
    Jest goes to show that history does repeat itself.

  6. ...and come to think of it; Lee Harvey Oswald does a little like Eric Reed Boucher (aka. Jello Biafra).
    Coincidence???

  9. Which reminds me, do you know the difference between the Rolling Stones and an Irishman? The Rolling Stones say 'hey you get off of my cloud' and the Irishman says 'hey mc cloud get off of my ewe.'

  10. Damn, I feel as though I had read all of that a looong time ago, probably in the early days of proliferation of the Internet, but still...packs a huge wallop no matter how many times one reads it.
