An elderly widow and widower had been dating for about five years. The man finally decided to ask her to marry him.
When he asked her, she immediately said "yes".
The next morning when he awoke, he couldn't remember what her answer was! "Was she happy? I think so, wait, no, she looked at me funny..."
After about an hour of trying to remember to no avail, he got on the telephone and gave her a call. Embarrassed, he admitted that he didn't remember her answer to the marriage proposal
"Oh", she said, "I'm so glad you called. I remembered saying 'yes' to someone, but I couldn't remember who it was...."
What play was Lincoln watching on the fateful day?
Abraham Lincoln was shot while watching a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. The same play was
also running at the McVerick Theatre in Chicago on May 18, 1860 - the day Lincoln was nominated for president in that city.
