With Strom Thurmond retiring, I thought I’d share this joke I heard from a legislative assistant when I interned on Capitol Hill:
During the Carter years, Jimmy was having some problems satisfying Roslyn due to the hostage crisis, OPEC, stagflation, etc. and decided to visit Strom, since Storm is known as quite a ladies man (he married his Beauty Queen wife when she was 16 and he was almost 80).
Hearing Jimmy’s problem, Strom says, 'Well I tell ya what Jimmy. What I do is take my ‘thang’ and whack it against the bedpost three times: ‘whack, whack, whack’, then I go over to the nightstand, then again, whack my thang three times: ‘whack, whack, whack’. And I tell ya what Jimmy, it drives the ladies crazy.
Jimmy thanks Strom and heads back to the White House, and Roslyn’s is already in bed. So he follows Strom’s instructions, takes his ‘thang’ and hits it against the bedpost three times: ‘whack, whack, whack’, then he goes over to the nightstand, then again, three times: ‘whack, whack, whack’.
Then Roslyn leans over and says:
“That you Strom?”
:eek:
