Happy National Presidential Joke Day!

Did you know? During Ronald Reagan’s presidency, he and Vice President George Bush established weekly Thursday lunches. True to their shared humor, these lunches typically concluded with the two swapping jokes!

As George Bush later reflected in a 1998 interview, “One of the greatest things about Ronald Reagan is his sense of humor–absolutely the best storyteller I have ever heard. Professional, amateur, you name the kind of joke, he had it. But it was always with a twinkle, never hurtful or mean about somebody. He could diffuse some of the most difficult situations with humor.”

It’s National VEEP Day!

Did you know that President Bush was the fourth (and most recent) President of the United States to be elected into office directly following their vice presidency?

President Bush remarked his appreciation for President Reagan and his time as the country’s VEEP.

“Had I not been Vice President, I might well not have been President–because Reagan, at the last moment, put me on the ticket. He was so good to me in every single way.” - President Bush, April 11, 2000
