Assassination Trivia

[L Verge]

While Joe is pouting (with a smirk on his face), I want to assure those of you who don't already know it that he and I are very good friends! In fact, this old lady is an only child and never had any brothers to "protect" her. Thanks to our mutual love of the history of this era, I now have four brothers who take up for me - while teasing me unmercifully too: Joe, Roger, Rick, and Bill.

I forgot to add something about the trivia question. When I went to the link that Joe posted, I found it amazing that the root word of "sockdologizing" might actually be traced back to the "doxology." I was a church organist in the Episcopal faith for nearly thirty years, and I played the Doxology every Sunday as the weekly offering was presented to the priest. Others of you might know it as the hymn, Old One Hundredth, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow..."

I'm going to sound terrible here, but when I saw that, I immediately envisioned someone being socked in the jaw and the attacker enjoying every minute of it and singing "Praise God from whom..."!
