two taftisms, pick your favorite:
taft would go walk in the rose garden and hide from his staff. when they sent someone to find him, he'd jump out from hiding and try to scare the bejeezus out of them. then he'd laugh till he was crying red in the face
and then:
taft would invite foreign dignitaries to breakfast, where he had the kitchen specially prepare cold gruel to be served. taft would explain that it was one of his favorites. when the gruel came he would watch the table and let his guests debase themselves to praise the president's favorite cold gruel, while not touching his own meal. then, once everybody had finished, he would put his full, untouched bowl of gruel on the floor for his patiently waiting dog. breakfast with william howard taft, there you go
both of these are true because i learned them in AP US History, as you know an AP US History teacher cannot tell a lie (the george washington curse)
