Also, I think the table with Clinton, FDR, and Kennedy is more fun. :P

Not only more fun, but a lot less awkward.  I was wondering what it would take to have all those Republicans of the past have a good natured laugh with Trump.  Then I realized one of them told a joke at Trump's expense and they all laughed, with Trump laughing a bit but having no idea that the were laughing at him, not with him.

It's missing the third painting with such luminaries as Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and Fillmore.

Apparently Trump has the Republican version of the picture hanging in some White House office. I wonder if it's cool to have Nixon around in any official way over there...

They would all be punching Tyler in the face.

And a fourth with just Adams and Washington.

If they could just lose Woodrow, that table would be a riot.

If you involve post-stroke Wilson ala Weekend at Bernies, it could still be ok.

I asked a young friend of mine what she was upset about, she said her boyfriend had left her. 

I may have replied "Oh never mind, I'm sure you'll get over it"   :bowler:

Thanks, I'll take whatever 'compliments' I can get.  :D

UK train ticket pricing doesn't make too much sense, booking some now, Winchester 30 miles from here is X amount, yet London on the same journeys is often only an extra quid for 50 miles travel both ways.  :hmm:

And yet in Wessex, my region there are plenty of extra single stop additions to a journey that cost 6, 7, 8 quid each for just a handful of extra miles; more than the cost of some 90-100 mile trips to London. :blink:

Basically turn up at the station with your debit card and pay a random amount depending on the number of vowels in a destination's name, the colour of the train livery and the number of times so far today the station's cat has crossed the road for saucer of milk from the local tea shop.  :bowler:
