Very Strange!

Just seen this on another forum :boggle:


Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected Preside nt 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 we re 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 theatre named ‘Ford.’
Kennedy was shot in a car called ‘Lincoln’ made by ‘Ford.’

Lincoln was shot in a theatre and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theatre.

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, nuts deep.

:laughing:

I came across that before and there is another one along the same lines about two other presidents but their names escape me at the moment.

Over to the 'Mericans…

Slan,
D. :wink:

I’ve heard that before too. It is weird.

That’s been going around since I was a kid. Interesting though.

Even more interesting is the comparison between Robert E Lee and Montgomery Clift.

That is pretty crazy.

I’ve seen this before too, but it still strikes me as bizzzzzaaaaarrreeee. :astonished:

Have you read the similar comparison of Avril Lavigne and Papa Smurf?

Are you pullin our leg, or are you serious :laughing: ?

Ding-a-ling-a-ling :smiley:

I’m trying to be more like me today, to please SmurphyTout. :wink:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing::lol: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

WHY CAN’T YOU BE MORE LIKE MARTIN MILNER, DAMNIT!!!
:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing::lol: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing::lol: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Ain’t that something. I made the same joke and nobody noticed. Sigh I’m just not enough like Martin.

it may be the British accent…

“do or do not, there is no try” Flydood. :stuck_out_tongue:
You can do it! I believe in you!
You can be one of our Martin Milner clone army of the C&F Republic! :smiley:
(P.S., I’m sorry I missed the same joke you cracked… :sniffle: Totally by accident)

Well, I didn’t put a comma after “sigh” so at that rate I’ll never Martinize.

:stuck_out_tongue: I’m sorry, Flydood, :stuck_out_tongue: if you cannot conform to our ideal clone we must expell you from the board :smiley: :laughing:

Yup, it went totally over my head too. Sorry Fc. :blush:

When people (not just your good self) make reference to “famous” Americans, such as that woman who got locked up for having a TV show about house improvements, of whatever it was, I’m just left scratching my head. I guess it’s the same reaction most of us have to people who are apparently celebrities because they’ve been on TV for five minutes.

I heard of Robert E Lee, but not Mr. Clift, so I assumed he was another US General.

Not hardly. Famous U.S. movie actor of the 40s/50s (and early 60s).

sigh

That’s one that really never understood. He always gave me the creeps.


djm

If that was why they locked her up, I dare say they never would have let her out. :astonished:

Will O’Ban

Oh my gosh. He’s unbelievably sexy to me - I loved him in Red River and The Misfits. He could play a cowboy better than almost anybody - I don’t mean a John Wayne cowboy, I mean a real cowboy.
