Abraham Lincoln and Me

© Copyright 2000, Jim Loy

I've noticed several parallels between Abraham Lincoln and myself. One or two such coincidences are not impressive. But these many coincidences are amazing:

• Our last names start with L, and our first names have an odd number of letters.
• Lincoln split rails (who knows why). I once worked in a sawmill.
• We both had a mother and father.
• Lincoln freed the slaves. I have no slaves.
• Lincoln was President of the USA. I live in the USA.
• Lincoln said that a man's legs should be just long enough to reach the ground. I also tell stupid jokes.
• Neither of us has ever told a lie.
• Lincoln was assasinated in Ford's Theater. I once parked a Ford in front of a theater.
• Lincoln was assasinated by J. Booth. My dentist is named Dr. J. Booth. Now that is spooky.
• We both have WWW pages. See Abraham Lincoln Sixteenth President 1861-1865.

Makes your heart speed up, doesn't it? Of course, it is nearly impossible to acquire slaves, after Lincoln freed them. But I would refuse to own any, if given the opportunity. Just say "No."
