Presidents - Abraham Lincoln

 Wedding day photograph of Abraham and Mary taken 
November 4, 1842, in Springfield, Illinois,
after three years of a stormy courtship and a
broken engagement. Their love had endured.
Leather gloves worn by Lincoln to Ford's Theater on the night of his assassination. Blood stains are visible at the cuffs.
Emily Todd was Mary Todd Lincoln's half-sister.
In 1856 she married Benjamin Helm, a Confederate general.
After Helm's death in 1863, Emily Helm passed through Union Lines
to visit her sister in the White House.
This caused great consternation in the Northern newspapers.
Emily Helm took an oath of loyalty to the Union and was granted amnesty.

Male logic joke

*This is a story which is perfectly logical to all males:*   A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6."   A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk.  The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?"   He replied, "They had eggs."
