The TV news ran a story about how the average American wastes 2 hours of time...mostly surfing the net.
Well, I'm starting mine now: (you may have seen this before)
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.
Creepy huh?
It's a fact of Life:
After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says : WTF .......

A week before he was shot, Lincoln spent the night in Monroe, Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe!
(Sick side note. Marilyn died in Summer of '62. 15 months before JFK)

I was thinking of saying your line 2 as well, but after reading line 3, I wonder how accurate the rest of the list is? .
BTW, thanks for posting beastoffportbow!
I think I we possible work fairly close to each other. I work on Coast Highway just south of MacArthur.
