History Lesson

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? Send this to as many people as you can, cause: Hey, this is one history

lesson people don't mind reading
