AN INTERESTING HISTORY LESSON

 

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 MarilynMonroe.
