Yes! Cal never said much, nor do most animals.

Yeah, the Coolidge Effect.

Like many of the stories concerning one of our greatest Presidents, it is pithy, humorous, and displays an implicit and subtle understanding. Let's reproduce it here:

President Coolidge and his wife were touring a farm. While the President was elsewhere, the farmer proudly showed Mrs. Coolidge a rooster that "could copulate with hens all day long, day after day."

Mrs. Coolidge coyly suggested that the farmer tell that to Mr. Coolidge, which he did.

The President thought for a moment and then inquired, "With the same hen?"

"No, sir," replied the farmer.

"Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge," retorted the President.
