Lincoln’s Perspective

The ghost of Abraham Lincoln came by during lunch. Lincoln is amazingly confident. I asked Lincoln how he has such certainty. He said it’s due to being on the penny and the five dollar bill. Lincoln has so much charm that I couldn’t tell if he was being honest or funny.

I said to Lincoln, “When I look at your life, I feel mine pales in comparison.”

Lincoln said, “Everything seems golden when it’s in someone else’s hands.”

I said, “What do you see when you look at my life?”

Lincoln said, “Someone with a barrel of molasses, a spoon, and the whole day ahead of him.”
