So, Calvin Coolidge. I know, openings like that are why I’m not a successful humor blogger. But, still. Did you know he was a practical joker? Like, when he was President, he’d sometimes just press the alarm button in the Oval Office, and then go hide behind the curtains while the Secret Service guys raced in and got all tense. And, I mean, you look at a picture of him. And you say, “that is a person whose main joy in life is whacking people across the knuckles with a yardstick”. And then you learn he would do stunts like that, which are exactly what I would do if I were President for some reason.
So, you know, the guy had hidden depths. And in those depths, he liked having breakfast in bed while someone rubbed his head down with petroleum jelly. I don’t get it either.

Did you know noted Calif. Used car dealer Cal Worthington’s full name was Calvin Coolidge Worthington? ( and his dog Spot)

I did not! I never knew Coolidge even had a dog Spot. Just the raccoon. And the lion cubs that he named ‘Tax Reduction’ and ‘Budget Bureau’, which goes back to feeding the impression that he mostly wanted to rap people across the knuckles.
