Lincoln is the one with the most sense of humor among all American presidents.

As early as when he was studying, there was an exam. The teacher asked him: "Would you rather answer one difficult question, or two easy questions?" Lincoln answered confidently: "Answer one difficult question." Then you answer, where do eggs come from? ""Chickens." The teacher asked again: "Where do chickens come from?" "Teacher, this is already the second question." Lincoln said with a smile. .

Once, Lincoln walked to the city. When a car came from behind him, he raised his hand to stop the car and said to the driver: "Can you take this coat to the city for me?" "Of course," the driver said, "But what should I do? Give you the coat?" Lincoln replied, "Oh, it's easy. I'm going to wrap it up in the coat." The driver was impressed by his humor and let him get in the car with a smile.

Lincoln worked as a lawyer. Once in court, the opposing lawyer presented a simple argument over and over for more than two hours, making the audience impatient. Finally it was Lincoln's turn to go on stage to defend the defendant. He walked up to the podium, first took off his coat and put it on the table, then picked up the glass and took a sip of water, then put on his coat again, and then took off his coat and placed it on the table. , drank water, and dressed again, repeated five or six times, and the audience in the court fell forward and backward with laughter. Lincoln said nothing and only began his defense speech after the laughter subsided.

Lincoln’s face is long and unsightly. Once, he was debating with Stephen Douglas, who ridiculed him for being two-faced. Lincoln replied: "If I had another face, would I still wear this ugly face?"

Once, Lincoln was shining his shoes, and a foreign diplomat came towards him Asked: "Mr. President, do you polish your own shoes?" "Yes," Lincoln asked in surprise, "Do you polish other people's shoes?"

Some people think that Lincoln's attitude towards political opponents is not tough enough. , said to him: "Why do you want them to be friends? You should find a way to eliminate them." "Am I not eliminating political enemies? When I make them my friends, political enemies no longer exist. "Lincoln said gently.

Another time, a woman came to Lincoln and said confidently: "Mr. President, you must give my son the position of colonel. We should have such rights, because my grandfather once Participated in the Battle of Reissington, my uncle was the only one who did not escape at Bradensburg, and my father participated in the Battle of Naolins, and my husband was killed in Mantle, so... ..." Lincoln replied: "Madam, your family has served the country for three generations and has made a lot of contributions to the country. I deeply respect it. Now can you give others a chance to serve the country?" The woman had nothing to say? He said that he had to leave quietly.

I will never see you again

As a young man, Lincoln joined the militia in San Gamon, Illinois. The colonel commander was a short man, just over four feet tall, while Lincoln was exceptionally tall and greatly exceeded the commander.

Because Lincoln himself felt tall, he was used to walking with his head down and stooped. The colonel was very angry at his hunched-over posture and called him in for a scolding.

"Listen, Uncle," the colonel shouted, "keep your head high, you guy!"

"Yes, sir." Lincoln replied respectfully .

"It needs to be raised a little higher," the colonel said.

"Do you want me to be like this forever?" Lincoln asked.

"Of course, you guy, do you even need to ask?" The colonel got angry.

"I'm sorry, Colonel," Lincoln said with a sad face, "Then I have to say goodbye to you, because I will never see you again!"

I think they are Contagious

Lincoln hated those who came to the White House to nag and demand a job. One day Lincoln was feeling unwell, but there was a guy staying by Lincoln's side, ready to sit down and have a long chat.

Just then the president's doctor walked into the room. Lincoln winked at the doctor, stretched out his hands to him, and asked: "Doctor, what are the spots on my hands? What are the spots all over my body?" All. I think they are contagious, right?"

"Yes, very contagious," the doctor said.

After hearing this, the guy stood up immediately and said, "Okay, I can't stay any longer now. Mr. Lincoln, I have nothing to do. I just came to visit you."

The guy After leaving, Lincoln burst into laughter in the room.

Patience for 15 Minutes

After Lincoln’s wife Mary Todd Lincoln became the wife of the president, her temper became increasingly violent. Not only did she spend money freely, but she also often showed her lewdness to others. She scolded tailors for charging too much, and scolded butcher shops and grocery stores for being too expensive.

A businessman who had suffered enough from Mary came to Lincoln to complain. Lincoln folded his arms and listened carefully to the businessman's story with a wry smile. Finally, he said helplessly to the businessman: "Sir, I have been tortured by her for 15 years. Wouldn't it be over after you have endured it for 15 minutes?"

I don’t know if it’s enough```
