Politician Son
Ohio claims they are due a president as they haven't had one since Taft. Look at the United States, they have not had one since Lincoln. ~Will Rogers

The annual White House Easter egg-roll was started by President Hayes in 1878.
An older couple had a son, who was still living with his parents.
The parents were a little worried, as the son was still unable to
decide about his career path... so they decided to do a small test.
They took a ten-dollar bill, a Bible, and a bottle of whiskey, and
put them on the front hall table. Then they hid, hoping he would
think they weren't at home.
The father told the mother, "If he takes the money he will be a
businessman, if he takes the Bible he will be a priest - but if he
takes the bottle of whiskey, I'm afraid our son will be a drunkard."
So the parents took their place in the nearby closet and waited
nervously. Peeping through the keyhole they saw their son arrive
home. He saw the note they had left, saying they'd be home later.
Then, he took the 10-dollar bill, looked at it against the light,
and slid it in his pocket.
After that, he took the Bible, flicked through it, and took it also.
Finally, he grabbed the bottle, opened it, and took an appreciative
whiff to be assured of the quality. Then he left for his room,
carrying all the three items.
The father slapped his forehead, and said: "Darn, it's even worse
than I ever imagined..."
"What do you mean?" his wife inquired.
"Our son is going to be a politician!"
