US History Lesson

[Mcandmar]

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 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 with Marilyn Monroe.

Creepy huh? Send this to as many people as you can, cause:

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

@cyclonium- Yah "terrance" just took a glimpse at the first few lines and looked at me for ages with a grin on his face and say's "are you for real bhoy".I reply "ya i'm for real,so can you explain it?" Then he says "whose talking bhoy?" to the rest of the class and i say "me".After the class had a good laugh,Terry looked back at me and said "your a rare specimen,now sit at the front and don't bother me for the rest of the class.I guess he couldn't explain itJust like he hasn't a clue of history,ony preaches what is wrote in the history book and makes it seem like there his views on what happened in world war II etc...

[Cyclonium]
