Red face Good Grief!!

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.


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.

Bloody Hell

Yup.

For example John Wilkes booth was born in 1838 not 1839, he went to a doctors house, not a warehouse, and later hid out in a barn, where he was shot after refusing to come out, not really assasinated.

Thumbs up

Be careful pete they are all interesting facts but if you keep researching this it will eventually lead you onto our government which you are strongly in favour for.. Then you will see them in a different light.

Monroe died in August 1962, JFK was assasinated in November 1963. And yet he slept with her a week before his death!

More absolute tosh from PSL!

It's called humour I guess??

To all those who can use search so well, better than a 78 year old, I suggest you type into google, "Humour, the meaning of, how to get it, implanting brain cells"

Should come up with some information you will find extremely useful.
