Abraham Lincoln A Tickle Fetishist?

[Paulie1]

I found this on a Wikipedia article about the sexuality of Abraham Lincoln. Why anyone would write an article about that, I have no idea.

"Once when Mr L was surveying, he was put to bed in the same room with two girls, the head of his bed being next to the foot of the girls' bed. In the night he commenced tickling the feet of one of the girls with his fingers. As she seemed to enjoy it as much as he did he then tickled a little higher up; and as he would tickle higher the girl would shove down lower and the higher he tickled the lower she moved. Mr L would tell the story with evident enjoyment. He never told how the thing ended."

Hmm...that could have been sexual harassment.

Four Score And Seven Tickles Ago.....................

The Girls Were Later Determined To Be Two Of John Wilkes Booth's Ho's. No Wonder He Went Gansta On The Great Emancipator. 🙂 At Least He Was Kinda Merciful And Tickled Them In The Dark. 🙂 I Think We Need To Remember You Can Fool All Of The Ticklephiles Some Of The Time And Some Of The Ticklephiles All Of The Time.... How Did Carl Sandburg Miss That (imaginary) Nugget????????????????????????

Whixc is what my statement half heartewdly impluies, it ould have been sexual harrassment, meaning it would most certainly be known. But sadly, we know not of it, so it might not be real.

Here's the article. Believe what you want. I didn't say I thought it was true, I just reported it.

You know, Vlad is probably going to post about this so I am not going to let him take the g;ory.
No one but an imbecile would call the president, Mr L, in addition to not placing the appropriate punctuation marks on here. That is simply tooooooo informal.

So Lincoln Was A Side Splitter And A Rail Splitter???

At Least Fdr,jfk And Bill Clinton's Reputation Are Still Intact. 🙂😉😉

I was skeptical too, but the reference, although second-hand, appears to have come from a published book about Abraham Lincoln.

as disturbing as it may sound, it wasn't sexual harrassment back then, it was perfectly normal. so Abe, even a tickle fetishist or not, is still a great prez.

appears.

The Wikipedia article introduced the quoted part with:

Douglas Wilson, in his book entitled Honor's Voice: The Transformation of Abraham Lincoln, notes the following: according to James Short, a friend of Lincoln's from his New Salem days, Lincoln used to enjoy telling this story about himself:​

However, it doesn't provide a link to the book or any other information about it, so we have to rely on the accuracy and truthfulness of the writer of that section.

Wikipedia is reliable, like missing you train because you're a few seconds late reliable. No it's not a real source.

Normally you would just delete your old posts and not return. I left your screen name out of the quote to make it easier for you to disappear if you choose.
