Morning y’all

. . . . . Didja Know?

George Washington delivered the shortest inaugural address of 135 words at his second inauguration in
Philadelphia.

The longest address was by William Henry Harrison of around 8500 words. Even though he gave his address
on a very cold day in March, he refused to wear a coat and caught a cold, succumbing to pneumonia a month
later.

Size does matter, the shorter the speech, the better, no one wants to listen to all those lies.

Actually, even as a Brit, I did know that bit about Harrison, but not the bit about Washington.

Good DJK Joy.

So agree...Too bad they all don't shorten their speeches to just 10 words. "I will represent you in the best interest possible, thankyou."

Maybe they should just "text" message the inaugural address?

[Caladium]

LOL, hmmm it's flu season.... lots of infectious people gonna be at the inauguration.... yet another reason that the shorter the speech, the better.

I like a man of few words and a lot of action.

Why can’t we all just use our GPS units for the inaugural address?

Might even be able to use google maps? lol
