The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of
1858
by John Anster Fitzgerald

A frozen autumn morning somewhere in the Czech Republic.

President Calvin Coolidge & Mrs. Coolidge were separately being shown around an experimental government farm in the '20s. Mrs. Coolidge came to the chicken yard, and noticed that a rooster was mating very frequently.

She asked how often this happened, and was told, "Dozens of times each day."

Mrs. Coolidge said, "Tell that to the President when he comes by."

Later upon being told, the President asked, "Same hen every time?” The reply was, "Oh, no, Mr. President, a different hen every time."

The President said, “Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge."
