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.

Weird eh? Send this to as many people as you can, because: this is one history lesson people don't mind reading.
