“Ah, where’s the shawl Abe?”

In my American History seminar today, Richard mentioned that Abraham Lincoln was a rail splitter. Which reminded me of this brilliant sketch by Bob Newhart. Amazingly, they have it on YouTube. It’s a one-sided conversation between a man on the phone to Abraham Lincoln just before the Gettysburg Address. Sounds strange? Yes, but listen to it. It’s brilliance.

And if you find that amusing, his Driving Instructor sketch is definitely worth a listen as well. My mother and I quote it far too often.
