“Lyndon Johnson’s johnson was called Jumbo. He named it that himself. As a friend of mine pointed out, in olives, at least, jumbo is not the biggest size. LBJ was nevertheless generous in displaying Jumbo—to women, of course, and to men as well.”
Google LBJ Jumbo and you’ll get 135K hits…you can pick which sources you think are on the level.
How about actually quoting from your link?
Jennings wrote the entry on Johnson for the American National Biography series. The “100 children” claim is from a footnote in a book about somebody else. I think I’ll go with Jennings.
You seem to have invented the 300 kids: it’s not anywhere on the Wikipedia page or anywhere else.
And since this is GQ, if johnson came from this Johnson, why did no one use it for a full century after his death?
My drill sergeant* spoke in terms like “I want all you swinging-richards to form-up, NOW!” No joneses or johnsons amongst the recruits. He also said, “I can only promise you two things - death and destruction.” How prescient…
“Ahh, ya doesn’t has to call it Johnson!
You can call it penis, or you can call it dick, or you can call it cock,
or you can call it weiner, or you can call it joy stick, or you can call it ding-a-ling…
but ya doesn’t hafta call it Johnson.”
I always thought it amusing that pitcher Randy Johnson was known as “the Big Unit.”
