"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes." -- Aug. 11, 1984.
Being funny and serious at the same time isn't easy to do. Ronald Reagan had a sense of humor even in the most stressful and dire situations -- I'm not talking about being a fool, I'm talking about maintaining composure and a positive attitude even after you just got shot by a would-be assassin, or when staring down the Russian Bear. I appreciate stuff like that.
