        That reminds me of this one:   
      
        A man was injured in a car crash in 1958 and fell into a coma. He   
   finally came out of the coma in 1973.  The first thing he asked was   
   after the health of President Eisenhower.   
      
        When told that the President was now dead, his reply was, 'Oh no,   
   that means that idiot Nixon is President'.   
      
   Sincerely,
