Raccoon in the White House

Post by SolidusRaccoon »

Found this online.
President Coolidge's favorite pet was a raccoon named Rebecca; he built a special house for her, visited her every day, and walked her around the White House on a leash. When the White House was being repaired and President Coolidge and his family moved temporarily, the President worried that Rebecca might get lonely, so he sent a limousine to bring her from the White House to stay with them.

And here is a picture of Rebecca and Grace Collidge.

Yes, sir. I agree completely. It takes a well-balanced individual... such as yourself to rule the world. No, sir. No one knows that you were the third one... Solidus. ...What should I do about the woman? Yes sir. I'll keep her under surveillance. Yes. Thank you. Good-bye...... Mr. President.

I wonde what having a pet raccoon would do for your social life. It sure would be an interesting conversation piece.

My dad and family had a pet raccoon when he was a kid. He said they have to be females, the males get ornery as they grow up.

To an ornery raccoon, it would be his lawn anyway. :P :D

Innocent and harmless just like the iceberg that sank the Titanic.

Gee does that mean that 7/8 of your mass is below water?
:o :o :o

The "tip of the iceberg" expression can be explained as follows: Icebergs float because the density of ice (around 900 kg per cubic meter) is lower
than that of seawater (around 1025 kg per cubic meter). The ratio of these densities tells us that 7/8 of the iceberg's mass must be below water.
Usually icebergs are 20% to 30% longer under the water than above and not quite as deep as they are long at the waterline.

Boy your must have a big tail. :lol:
