When I first read about that remark from Truman I howled...perfect!!Wink

Truman had a knack for pithy sayings, many of which Roger won't allow me to quote, I'm sure. But they were funny and to the point.

When introduced to some of Mrs. Truman's friends, he used the word, "manure." After he left the room, some of the scandalized ladies asked Bess what she thought of the president using such language. She replied that it had taken her years to get President Truman to change to that more polite term.

He was a character, no doubt about it.
