Today's happy story with the Less Than Honest Abe concerns a tale wrapped around an odd quote where he couldn't tell if it was tea or coffee in his cup.
Abraham looked in his mug, frowning."Is there a problem, sir?" asked the steward.
"Is this coffee?" asked Abe.
"I don't think so," said the steward.
"Okay," said Abe. "Is it tea?"
The steward sniffed the liquid in the cup.
"It's neither," said the steward. "It's bourbon."
"Bourbon?" said Lincoln. "Ah. Bring me the rest of the bottle, then."
Lincoln looked out the window of the rail car.
It would be nice if they were moving. Or were still hooked to the engine, for that matter.
They'll come back for me, he thought. I'm the President.
He sipped and smiled.
Inspired by that awful "Wild Wild West" movie.
