Juno's sacred geese saved the Capitol and made money:

(Don't know about snakes, Jim, but as for snails and slugs - people here keep Indian runner ducks to dispose of them.)

Back to the President born on the 4th of July...?

Hey, Eva--

Never heard of those ducks before, but they look pretty neat on YouTube videos!

Calvin Coolidge.

A+ Mr. Teacher. Silent Cal was the Yankee Doodle Dandy, born on the 4th of July.

Have you seen Silent Cal in the Nationals Presidents Race?

Yes, but I must admit I like this race better.

Me too! But I bet Coolidge shouts "You lose" when he wins. Have you heard the story where the Coolidges were hosting a dinner party and a lady told Coolidge she had a bet with a friend that she could get him to say no more than two words? Coolidge responded "You lose" and embarrassed the lady. Funny stuff!

Which First Lady said this about her husband?

"____________ talks too much, but at least he's honest..."


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 08-07-2015

______ = Ronald?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 08-07-2015

Good try, Eva, but it was not Nancy Reagan.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Jim Page - 08-07-2015

Wild guess, but I'm thinking this is a Betty Ford quote.

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 08-07-2015

George W. or George H.?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 08-08-2015

Nice tries, Jim and Eva, but not correct.

Hint #1: The First Lady said this after hearing her husband's "disclosure."
