snowyday Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Once during a cross-country tour, President Coolidge was scheduled to make a speech at an Indian reservation. The tribal chief said there was a severe drought. “Our rainmakers have prayed, but it hasn’t helped. Soon the fields will lie in waste.†“I know,†said Coolidge. “And when I return to Washington, I’m going to see what can be done about it.†No sooner had he uttered the words than the heavens opened and the rain came pouring down. Coolidge, drenched, looked up at the sky and muttered: “I said ‘when I return to Washington.’†* * * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
