My first reaction: even for a Mental Floss t-shirt, that one’s a stretch. But then, everytime I read it I laugh, so…

Think anyone would buy a t-shirt that said “Benjamin Harrison Abides”?

Shmuel, if the supposition of your first point were correct, I would wonder what a COUCH is doing at a Motel 6.

1. Judging by the decor and furnishings in the first photo, I wonder what Obama and his mother-in-law were doing at a Motel 6.

2.Chances are that the Mother-in-Law from Heck only called her son-in-law “Mr. Truman” to his face. Depending on who was listening, she probably called him all kinds of things.

3. Benjamin Harrison abides.

Just last night I was asking my son-in-law whether he’d let me move with him to the White House if he were elected president. I said someone should write an article about other White House in-laws. Great timing, Mr. Holzel!

‘â€œWhy would Harry run against that nice Mr. Dewey?â€ she wondered aloud,’

‘For the 33 years they lived together, she never called her son-in-law anything but â€œMr. Truman.â€’

———————————-

I don’t like to be picky, but these statements contradict each other. Which was it?
