Assassination Trivia

[Laurie Verge]

I will eat oysters any way but raw. I've tried them with almost every condiment known to man and just don't like them. However, that's what most of the oyster bars in Booth's day served.

As for mosquitoes, I'm going way off grid and telling a story about one of my dad's Army recruits. They were in a section of North Carolina known for its mosquitoes, and the guys dreaded going to sleep each night because their "dormitory" was a line of pup tents. They were listed on the insect menu as fresh meat of the day!

One night a stiff breeze came up and tore some of the tents from their stakes. Dad swore that one recruit was still laying down with his eyes closed and mumbling, "They got it, they got it, the damned mosquitoes got my pup tent."

P.S. Yes, Gene, there will be an oyster test tomorrow...
