A True Story: 
 
 Old "Silent Cal" was not quite the stuffed shirt many make 
him out to be.  One day the President and his vivacious wife were 
touring a poultry farm.  The President and Mrs. Coolidge were in 
separate parties on the tour.  The First Lady was being shown a 
hen-house when she saw a rooster paying unmistakable attention to 
a hen.  The First Lady unabashedly asked her guide if that was a 
normal situation.  The farmer conducting the tour blushed and 
said, "Yes Ma'am.  He'll do that several times a day." 
 "Tell that to the President," Mrs. Coolidge said. 
 Later in the tour the President was shown the hen-house, 
and the rooster was again performing.  The farmer told the 
President that Mrs. Coolidge had asked him to inform the 
President that the rooster often did that several times a day. 
The President asked if the rooster did it with the same hen every 
time.  The farmer said no. 
 "Tell THAT to Mrs. Coolidge," replied the President.
