He should have told him he was going to the airport.Another Lincoln joke:
When Lincoln was campaigning for Congress in 1846, he faced a popular Methodist preacher, Rev. Peter Cartwright. Lincoln decided to show up at one of his revivals held during the middle of the campaign. When Cartwright came to the altar call, summoning sinners to accept Jesus and be saved, he noticed that Lincoln was there and sitting down, declining to come forward.
”If you’re not going to repent and go to heaven, Mr. Lincoln,” he cried out for all to hear, “where are you going?”
Lincoln simply replied, “I am going to Congress, brother Cartwright!”
And sure enough, he did.
Too soon?
