THIS DATE IN HISTORY
June 5, 1939 - Mahatma Gandhi bowled a perfect 300 game at the Cow Chip Lanes in New Delhi, India. However, the score was disallowed when it was discovered that Gandhi wore sandals instead of the required bowling shoes. In a rare display of anger, Gandhi punched the bowling alley manager in the face, breaking the man's nose and dislocating his jaw. Gandhi then stormed out and never bowled again.
HAIL TO THE CHIEF
Today will be one of those days I will never forget. I have the honor of interviewing one of our great dead Presidents, Thomas Jefferson. In addition, my psychic has advised me that Mr. Lincoln has agreed to be interviewed sometime soon.
Bob: It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. President. You seem a lot shorter than I thought you would be. Perhaps that's because you're dead. Would you like a phone book to sit on?
T.J.:
Bob: Do you bump into Sally Hemmings much these days (wink, wink)?
T.J.:
Bob: Would you like a black and white cookie, or perhaps an oreo cookie?
T.J.:
Bob: Do your friends ever call you Tommy?
T.J.:
Bob: Can I call you Tommy?
T.J.:
Bob: I bet Sally Hemmings called you Tommy.
T.J.:
Bob: I have always felt that the Jefferson Memorial is one of the sexiest monuments in Washington. Were you named for the memorial or was the memorial named for you?
T.J.:
Bob: Did you know that Gandhi was one hell of a bowler?
T.J.:
Bob: Have the dead Presidents ever thought about getting together and forming a bowling league?
T.J.:
Bob: Is there fat-free ice cream in heaven?
T.J.: We are just about out of time. To get serious for just a second, have you ever seen that old television show, "The Jeffersons?"
Bob: Thank you for doing this interview. Please accept this copy of my comedy book, "Diary of a Doll Wiggler," to help pass the time while you are dead. Please say hi to Sally and Mrs. J for me.
Wow, what a nice dead President, although he was a little on the quiet side.
See You Tomorrow.
