(65,163 posts)from a fart joke that LBJ told about Gerald Ford?
I didn't know that until I researched Ford to make a post on this thread in regards to Nixon's pre-Presidential conspiracy to prolong the Vietnam War so his Wall Street bankster, financier and investor cronies could to make more money.

"As Minority Leader in the House, Ford appeared in a popular series of televised press conferences with famed Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen, in which they proposed Republican alternatives to Johnson's policies. Many in the press jokingly called this "The Ev and Jerry Show".[47] Johnson said at the time, "Jerry Ford is so dumb he can't fart and chew gum at the same time."[48] The press, used to sanitizing LBJ's salty language, reported this as "Gerald Ford can't walk and chew gum at the same time."[49]
