these darn action figures II

[Wayne Johnson]

If you have Lyndon-on-the-pot, be sure that you have both toilet paper

about how NOT to put the toilet paper dispenser where he would hit it with
his knee.

(For other bits of architectural/history trivia, send your dimes and
quarters to:  WGJ reveals all.)

Thank you Roger... A dress-wearing Hoover and Lyndon on-the-Pot... I like
these more and more.

Ken Lay is not a big enough name yet to get into the Pantheon...but boy do
JEH and LBJ fill the bill!
