Lincoln: America's most humorous president

Lincoln is one of the most humorous presidents of the United States.

As early as reading, there was an exam when the teacher asked him, "Would you like to answer a difficult question or two easy questions?" Lincoln answered confidently, "Answer a difficult question." "Then you answer, how do eggs come from?" "Chicken comes from." The teacher asked, "Where does the chicken come from?" "Teacher, this is the second question." Lincoln said with a smile.

Once, Lincoln walked to the city. When a car came from behind him, he raised his hand to stop it and said to the driver, "Can you take this coat to the city for me?".

Lincoln worked as a lawyer. Once in court, the opposing lawyer repeatedly stated a simple argument for more than two hours, which made the audience impatient. It was Lincoln's turn to defend the defendant. He went to the stage, took off his coat and put it on the table, then took a glass and drank two mouthfuls of water, then put on his coat again, then took off his coat and put it on the table, then drank water, and then dressed. This repeated five or six times, and the audience in the court laughed. Lincoln said nothing and began his defense speech after the laughter.

Lincoln's face is long and ugly. Once, he argued with Stephen Douglas, who ridiculed him as a two-faced man. Lincoln replied, "If I had another face, would I still wear this ugly face?"

Once, when Lincoln was polishing his shoes, a foreign diplomat came to him and said, "Mr. President, how dare you wipe your shoes?" "Yes," Lincoln asked in surprise, "do you wipe others' shoes?"

Some people think that Lincoln's attitude towards political enemies is not strong enough. They said to him, "Why do you want them to be friends? You should try to eliminate them." "Am I not destroying political enemies? When I make them my friends, political enemies will not exist." Lincoln said gently.

林肯:美国最具幽默感的总统

　　林肯是美国历任总统中最具幽默感的一位。 

　　早在读书时，有一次考试，老师问他：“你愿意答一道难题，还是两道容易的题目？”林肯很有把握地答：“答一道难题吧。”“那你回答，鸡蛋是怎么来的？”“鸡生的。”老师又问：“那鸡又是从哪里来的呢？”“老师，这已经是第二道题了。”林肯微笑着说。 

　　一次，林肯步行到城里去。一辆汽车从他身后开来时，他扬手让车停下来，对司机说：“能不能替我把这件大衣捎到城里去？”“当然可以，”司机说，“可我怎样将大衣交还给你呢？”林肯回答说：“哦，这很简单，我打算裹在大衣里头。”司机被他的幽默所折服，笑着让他上了车。 

　　林肯当过律师。有一次出庭，对方律师把一个简单的论据翻来覆去地陈述了两个多小时，讲得听众都不耐烦了。好不容易才轮到林肯上台替被告辩护，他走上讲台，先把外衣脱下放在桌上，然后拿起玻璃杯喝了两口水，接着重新穿上外衣，然后再脱下外衣放在桌上，又再喝水，再穿衣，这样反反复复了五六次，法庭上的听众笑得前俯后仰。林肯一言不发，在笑声过后才开始他的辩护演说。 

　　林肯的脸较长，不好看。一次，他和斯蒂芬·道格拉斯辩论，道格拉斯讥讽他是两面派。林肯答道：“要是我有另一副面孔的话，我还会戴这副难看的面孔吗？” 

　　有一次，林肯在擦自己的皮鞋，一个外国外交官向他走来说：“总统先生，您竟擦自己的皮鞋？”“是的，”林肯诧异地反问，“难道你擦别人的皮鞋？” 

　　有人认为林肯对待政敌的态度不够强硬，对他说：“你为什么要让他们成为朋友呢？你应该想办法消灭他们才对。”“我难道不是在消灭政敌吗？当我使他们成为我的朋友时，政敌就不存在了。”林肯温和地说。
