weirdest President

[PBrunsel]

Coolidge:

Had is head rubbed with petroleum jelly every morning while eating breakfast in bed.

Walked the White House at night trying to find left-overs to save a few bucks.

To save on buying chickens to make chicken dinners at the White House, Coolidge started his own chciken coop. The chicken tasted weird because the coop was built over the spot where Teddy Rooselvelt grew mint.

Secretary of State Hughes told Coolidge, "We need more planes to have an airforce." "Why?" Coolidge asked, "Can't the pilots take turns on same plane?"

Cleveland peed out his window in the White House if he did not want to go to the outdoor bathroom.

That is weird.

I said Coolidge as well.  Didn't he have a pet racoon or something like that?  I also heard about a story where he had guests in the Oval Office and after 15 minutes, he hadnt arrived and they were starting to look around at the pictures and walk around the room, when he jumped out and scared them from underneath his desk.

He also would pushy all the buttons on his desk and see all the different people rush into his office as he laughed.

He would impale secreat service agent's thumbs as they baited is fishing hook.

He had a pet racoon, but it was his wives. He hated pets.

Van Buren. The hair is just creepy.

He also used to wear a corset and perfume his whickers!

nixon

What did he do?

tape recorde3d his conversations where he talked about (among other things) firebombing the brookings institute, breaking into daniel ellsburg's shrink's office.

then there was that little deal with watergate.

the wondering around drunk, and talking to pictures on the wall was also a tad weird.

He also wore his hospital nightgown backwards when he went in for surgery and ran down the hall to see how nurses reacted!

Here is a funny story though:

Nixon was meeting with some gay rights advocates in the White House. He listened patiently and attentively for an hour and after they left he told an aide, "Well, that was a real sausage fest!"

BTW, I love this thread. We can have a good discussion on the weirdness of our American Presidents.
