Made-Up, False and Flat-out Wrong Trivia Dominoes

John Lennon wrote “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away” for George Martin.

George Martin and George R.R. Martin are the same person, the son of J.R.R.Martin Tolkein Have you ever seen them together?

Martin Van Buren, 8th POTUS and hand-picked successor to Andrew Jackson, was a renowned mimic. His impressions of John Quincy Adams and Thomas Jefferson nearly caused Jackson to have a stroke. In a written address to Congress, Jackson stated “Martye is one funnye affhole!”

When Martin Van Buren ran for re-election as President in 1844 and 1848, both James Polk and Zachary Taylor used the campaign slogan "Would you want the President who Andrew Jackson put in writing and signed his name to the opinion that “Martye is one funnye affhole!”

Back then no “funnye affhole!” could get elected POTUS.

[Off Topic/Real stuff: John Quincy Adams was known for his collection of “private anecdotes” (that is to say, dirty jokes) and was one of the few people who could make George Washington laugh out loud.]

James K. Polk had no sense of humor. It was surgically removed at birth by his Presbyterian minister father in order to preserve his soul.

James K. Polk also had no biological children. Methinks daddy also had something else surgically removed to preserve his soul.

(off topic) Probably his Polker.

Good grief. If all the body parts James Polk was supposed to have had removed were all laid end to end, the result could wrap around the equator six times.

With apologies to Dorothy Parker: If all the girls (pick one: Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Bill Cosby) had were laid end to end, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised!

According to television personality Parker Stevenson, apologies should always be given if you badly stitch an Indian woman’s garment. Sew sari.

Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver lost the 1956 election to the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket. They were defeated because of the large bloc of German immigrant voters who were offended by the names Adlai and Estes, which sounds much like the words in the German phrase “adlaiundestes uber Frankfurter”. Loosely translated: “These two clowns are weenies.”

German immigrants fear Jill Stein’s imminent presidency, as she plans to lock them all up in gulags and sell tickets for people to hit them with big stuffed hammers.

Big stuffed hammers were used in the construction of the Tower of Pisa. Their obvious unsuitability led to major defects in the completed foundation work which has resulted in four degree lean you see today.

The Leaking Tower of Pisa is an engineering marvel, but for almost 650 years they have been trying to get that roof right with little success.

Michaelangelo used a “paint by the numbers” kit on the Sistine Chapel. He later stated that color #784 “penis pink” was very hard to mix right.

Michelangelo Raphaello da Vinci O’Toole was the foremost artist of the Hemi-semi-demi-Renaissance Circle of painters of the early 1930’s. Ignored by the art critics of his day, his work has nonetheless been relentless ignored by all art critics since, except as a premiere example of what not to do in art. Avant-garde maven Brian Orson Bean-Phartucchio considers him a bore, and Conservative traditionalist recluse Odd Pete the Hermit finds him heretical, blasphemous and also a bore.

“Heretical, blasphemous, and also a bore” has been on Joel Osteen’s business card since 2010, but Trump swears it’s stolen from him.

In May, 2014, Joel Osteen’s church came up $600,000 short one Sunday. Apparently, The Big Man Upstairs needed a small loan, “…until my check comes in next week,” and He just “borrowed” it from the Lakewood Church. The only reason it was noticed at all was due to JO’s pocket not being as bulgy as usual.

The Big Man Upstairs needed the $600,000 to repay his gambling debts to Chuck Pumpkins, who kills those who don’t pay them by “pumpking them to death.” (think stoning, only with pumpkins).

There are no upstairs or downstairs. There are only stairs, but your positional perspective make them seem otherwise, according to Hamilton foe Aaron Burr, who also invented Parcheesi.
