Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy

This has to do with.. nothing.  But I got an e-mail from a friend, and this is what she sent me.  I thought it was a little weird, so I had to show this to you...

Have a history teacher explain this if they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected in congress in 1846

John F. Kennedy was elected in 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 a child 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 were composed of 15 letters

Now hang on to your seat

Lincoln was shot at a theater named “Ford”

Kennedy was shot in car called “Lincoln” made by “Ford”

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 Marylin Monroe

And……

Lincoln was shot in a theater and the assassin ran to a warehouse

Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to a theater

Bet you didn’t know that!
