Default Humor from the last great president

A famous joke for sure, still true today:

At a Republican fundraiser at the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson on
June 20, 1983, President Ronald Reagan told the following anecdote:

Former Congressman Prentiss Walker, who I understand is here today,
tells a story about his first campaign. He dropped in on a farm and
introduced himself as a Republican candidate. And as he tells it, the
farmer's eyes lit up, and then he said, "Wait till I get my wife. We've
never seen a Republican before."

And a few minutes later he was back with his wife, and they asked
Prentiss if he wouldn't give them a speech. Well, he looked around for
kind of a podium, something to stand on, 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 they'd ever heard
a Republican. And he says, "That's okay. That's the first time I've ever
given a speech from a Democratic platform."
