Also via my sister, although I've seen references made to this elsewhere of late, is new historical audio tape from the LBJ years. In this audio clip, the president is ordering pants from the Haggar clothing company, using the vernacular I call "Coarse Texan" as only Johnson could. It is sort of Mark Twain meets Beavis. It is not to be missed.
The part of this exchange that really makes me laugh is that there was some poor staffer sitting with Johnson who had to listen to this and then follow through on the details of the purchase. It is said that those who stand too near the sun should expect to get burned. It is true of bungholes as well.
