PRESIDENTIAL TRIVIA
FDR was named for a great-uncle, Franklin Hughes Delano.
If you're 8 feet away from a door and with each move you advance half the distance to the door. How many moves will it take to reach the door.
Take everything in moderation. Including moderation.
There are two rules for success: 1.) Don't tell all you know.
Some days it's not worth chewing through the straps.
Never go to bed angry, stay awake and plot your revenge.
If at first you don't succeed, try left field.
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Their is a sucker born every day.
