funny joke supposedly told by Abraham Lincoln

[Guy Berger]

I read in a Time magazine article that this joke was told by Abraham Lincoln:

Shortly after the peace was signed, the Revolutionary War hero, Ethan Allen, was visiting England, and while there the British thought to make fun of him and of Americans by hanging a picture of George Washington in the outhouse where Mr. Allen would have to see it. When he made no mention of it after coming back, they finally asked him, "Have you seen that Washington picture?" "Why, yes," he said. Indeed, he thought it a very appropriate place for an Englishman to keep it, for there was nothing that would make an Englishman crap so quickly as the sight of George Washington.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, motherfuckers!

Four score and seven mutahfukkin' years ago, our fathers brought forth on this muthafukkin' continent a new muthafukkin' nation, conceived in LibuhTAY, and dedicated to the prosposition that all muthafukkers are created muthafukkin' E-kwill.

That's only one, but I hope the variants make up for the deficit.

He was the Chris Rock of his time, a regular Abrashizzle Lincoln.
