One day the President and Mrs. Coolidge were visiting a government
farm. Soon after their arrival they were taken off on separate tours.
When Mrs. Coolidge passed the chicken pens she paused to ask the man
in charge if the rooster copulates more than once each day. 'Dozens of
times,' was the reply. 'Please, tell that to the President,' Mrs. Coolidge
requested. When the President passed the pens and was told about the
roosters, he asked, 'Same hen every time?' 'Oh no, Mr. President, a
different one each time.' The President nodded slowly, then said, 'Tell
that to Mrs. Coolidge.'
