I find this article a bit tasteless today, what with the recent story about the attempted assassination of former Brit Prime Minister Tony Blair.

I shot the sheriff but I did not shoot the deputy!

I dig #1 as well. Cracked.com has a catchy theory as to why the bullets stayed in the gun. I could believe it!

By the way, 1. is awesome. He may have just became my new favorite president, for sheer toughness. Even Chuck Norris couldn’t top that.

RE: #1 and #2, they sure don’t make presidents like they used to.

Ryan – whoops, you’re right! The White House was going through some renovations at the time. Good catch.

Actually I think Truman was staying in the Blair House when that assassination attempt took place, not the White House.

The movie based on #7 with Sean Penn was amazing.
