Well, since you're reading it here, you probably already know:


"It seems that, during a visit to a large chicken farm, the president fell somewhat behind his wife. As the story goes: "Mrs. Coolidge, observing the vigor with which one particularly promising rooster covered hen after hen, asked the guide to make certain that the President took note of the rooster's behavior. When President Coolidge got to the hen yard, the rooster was pointed out and his exploits recounted by the guide, who added that Mrs. Coolidge had requested that the President be made aware of the rooster's prowess. The President reflected for a moment, and replied, 'Tell Mrs. Coolidge that there is more than one hen.'"

Actually the conversation went like this: Guide: Mrs. Coolidge wanted me to tell you that the rooster copulates with a hen 8-10 times a day. President: Same hen every time? Guide: No sir, Different hen every time. President: Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge.
