OK, I'll try another one:


As the ruler of my country, I went to a small restaurant for dinner, When the owner took my order, I noticed that we were virtual doubles, in face and in build. We began discussing the striking resemblances between each other and found many more similarities. We were both born on the same day, of the same year, in the same town, and married women with the same first name.
The restaurant was opened the day I was crowned. When I learned years later of the death of the restauranteur in a mysterious shooting accident, I expressed my regret. I was then assassinated later the same day. Reports of my assassination inspired an American to assassinate the president of the United States a year later.

Umberto I of Italy: Assassinated July 29, 1900 at the hands of anarchist Gaetano Bresci. Leon Czolgosz shot and killed William McKinley the following year and was found to be carrying a newspaper clipping about Bresci.

Umberto I of Italy is correct. The other details of the bizarre coincidence may or may not be folklore, but are alleged to be true.

I was born in rural New England to native parents, but my grandparents were immigrants to the US coming from Canada and Ireland. I joined the military, but was soon discharged when it was discovered I was underage. At that point I traveled to Europe and found a new vocation. Despite the fact that I was discouraged to pursue that career, I became very successful and inspired a number of others that became equally successful. Also during vacation absences from my employer, my substitute became the first person of their persuasion to do as such.

My career went from the 1920s to the 80s' and during that time I also obtained a degree in Philosophy from Yale. Members of the "brat pack', were also influenced by ventures.
