Have a history teacher explained 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 most people probably will

not mind reading!
