So what was the joke?
Former Congressman Prentiss Walker dropped in on a farm and introduced himself as a Republican candidate, Reagan began his joke, And as he tells it, the farmers eyes lit up, and then he said, Wait til I get my wife. Weve never seen a Republican before. And a few minutes later he was back with his wife, and they asked Prentiss if he wouldnt give them a speech.
Well, he looked around for a kind of a podium, something to stand on, he continued, and then the only thing available was a pile of that stuff that the late Mrs. Truman said it had taken her 35 years to get Harry to call fertilizer. So, he stepped up on that and made his speech.
And apparently he won them over. And they told him it was the first time theyd ever heard a Republican. And he says, Thats okay. Thats the first time Ive ever given a speech from a Democratic platform.’
That you didn’t get it...
