RE: President Lincoln's sense of humor
One striking aspect of the Lincoln rehabilitation project is the near absence of any of the real 'dirty jokes' which Abraham Lincoln was very fond of telling. Instead, if you look to find any of his jokes, very quickly folks said to the effect "oh he told them, but we just forgot exactly what they were". And you will find numerous listings of supposed Lincoln jokes which sound like they were churned out of the same bin that the reconstituted Mark Twain jokes came from. But the real Lincoln was very earthy in his humor, and to many they came off as a very vulgar, barnyard flavor to them. Is there a site which lists Lincoln's actual 'vulgar humor', and not the soft -soap, replacement jokes?
