American History Lessson......

[Goldendragon7]

Happy Easter All:

Look what happens when a U.S. President gets elected in a year with a "0" at the end. Also notice it goes in increments of 20 years.

1840: William Henry Harrison (died in office)
1860: Abraham Lincoln (assassinated)
1880: James A. Garfield (assassinated)
1900: William McKinley (assassinated)
1920: Warren G. Harding (died in office)
1940: Franklin D. Roosevelt (dies in office)
1960: John F. Kennedy (assassinated)
1980: Ronald Reagan (survived assassination attempt)
2000: George W. Bush ????????????

And to think that we had two guys fighting it out in the courts to be the one elected in 2000.

You might also be interested in this.

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.
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 with Marilyn Monroe..

Hey, this is one history lesson people don't mind reading.

Hey, this is one history lesson people don't mind reading.

Look, I already have to back to work tomorrow, so let me enjoy my Sunday!

Secondly, you're trying to set up shop in my neck of the woods!

I'd rather have a "Kenpo History " lesson instead! Proceed!

That's pretty cool Goldendragon7. I've heard some of that same stuff before, but not all together.

Should we take bets on this president?

[cali_tkdbruin]

Interesting American lesson, yes verrry interesting indeed.
But, was that item about JFK and Marilyn Monroe really true? Now ya piqued my curiosity...

 

[arnisador]

Heh, my father and I were talking about the Lincoln-Kennedy thinge arlier tonight!

 

[Seig]

Yes, the Marilyn Monroe Jack Kennedy thing were true. Marilyn also had an affair with Bobby Kennedy.

 

[cdhall]

Thanks for quoting Mr. C's entire post.
It was so far back that I could not find it.
Ooops. Wait, it was right above you...

I thought Kaith posted some type of guidance on when to quote an Entire lengthy thread?


Just a pet peeve of mine, I thought I'd bring it up.
:soapbox:

PS What did you mean your "neck of the woods?" Are you a History teacher? I know you coach something.
:asian:

Yes, Kaith did, but I ain't figured it out on how to splice up these comments.

Yep, Mr. C is trying to move in on my History area as I do teach that. Coaching, gave that up 10 years ago for the Arts. Inever regretted it!:asian:

Until I got to the last couple of lines I was saying to myself that I had seen all of this before. I had never heard that part put quite like that before. I almost shot my coffee out my nose when I saw it. Who says history can't be amusing? Doesn't it also strike ya as odd that both Bobby and Jack slept with Marilyn and both of them were shot?

I knew that Marilyn Monroe was doing the Kennedys, shoot that should be common knowledge if you're old enough and read enough books. What I didn't know was that she had been with JFK a few days before he was shot.

JFK, Clinton and a few other of the prezes were real playas... :ladysman:

 

[Dennis_Mahon]

JFK always had a weakness for blondes (and who doesn't? ). Just prior to WWII, he was involved with a German woman (her name escapes me at the moment) who was suspected of being an agent of the Reich. Needless to say, it drove Joe Sr. into fits, and John ended up being assigned to the Pacific Theater, rather than the Atlantic Theater, when he enlisted in the Navy.

 

[RCastillo]

Mr. Conatser had an opportunity to go to the Naval
Academy!

What controversy he would've made in the Navy!

Congressional committes, Tailhook Scandals galore!

I hear that you had an affair with Monroe too, but she didn't move much! How old is she again?

Just because I bear a striking resemblance to Jackie Gleason does not mean you should believe everything you read in the SuperMarket Tabloids....Sheesh, every one knows she ran off with Elvis.......
