"MARY TODD LINCOLN'S FIRST LOBSTER
as told to Mark Ricketts by Earl Hornswaggle"
http://www.earlhornswaggle.com/lincoln.html
“My grandfather met Abraham Lincoln and his wife way back when he was head cook up to Vice President Hamlin’s Bangor mansion. The first family had come to visit, and it was grandfather’s job to figure out what to serve ‘em for supper. He chose lobster so’s to give ‘em a taste of authentic New England cookin’. In fact, it was him told the Vice President that, for fun, he should have his honored guests drop by the kitchen. Thought they might like to pick out their own lobster. And just to give ‘em an extra thrill, he suggested they should stick ‘round and see how those suckers got cooked.
“Well, the Vice President was keen to show his guests a good time, and he for sure wanted ‘em to take in the local color, so he agreed that’d be a fine idea. It didn’t quite turn out the way they planned though, cos when Mrs. Lincoln caught sight of those caged and skitterin’ critters, with their snappin’ pinchers and beady little black eyes, she went t’ twichin’.
“When grandfather dropped one of ‘em in boilin’ water, and it turned red as the devil, well, Mrs. Lincoln had herself a conniption fit. She got to screamin’ so much, the President had to wrassle her down.
“Years later, the Vice President told my grandfather that Mrs. Lincoln completely lost her mind and they’d packed her off to the booby hatch.
My grandfather thought on it a mite, looked the Vice President in the eyes, and replied, ‘guess I shoulda served clams.’ "

"jackwagon", I thought it was something else.
"When something goes awry; someone who fouls something up, i.e., plans, projects, etc.
1. The vacation plans were jackwagoned.
2. I can't believe he messed up the vaction plans, what a jackwagon!"
You know I can't find a single original funny, or inspirational quote from Jefferson Davis. Great guy but not the stuff of folk humor.

Man, I'll tell you, R Lee Ermy's part in "Full Metal Jacket" is the closest thing to Marine Corps boot camp that I have ever seen.
