My favorite Calvin Coolidge stories. (Other than yours.)
At a White House dinner Mrs. Coolidge said to Babe Ruth, “Mr. Ruth, you’re not eating your asparagus.” He replied, “It make my urine stink.”

A friend of Mrs. Coolidge said to him, “Can you please teach him to say fertilizer instead of manure?” Mrs. Coolidge replied, “Dear, you have NO IDEA how long it took me to teach him to say manure.”
