Vor ner Weile hab ich beim Stöbern in Literatur für meine Magisterarbeit einen lustigen Auszug entdeckt; und mich weggeschmissen vor Lachen. Et voilà:

Few Presidents have permitted the kind of intimacy between themselves and their staffs that Johnson encouraged. When he had to go the bathroom in the middle of a conversation, it was not unusual for him to move the discussion there. Johnson seemed delighted as he told me of "one of the delicate Kennedyites who came into the bathroom with me and then found it utterly impossible to look at me while I sat there on the toilet. You´d think he had never seen those parts of the body before. For there he was, standing as far away from me as he possibly could, keeping his back toward me the whole time, trying to carry on a conversation. I could barely hear a word he said. I kept straining my ears and then finally asked him to come a little closer to me. Then began the most ludicrous scene I had ever witnessed. Instead of simply turning around and walking over to me, he kept his face away from me and walked backward, one rickety step at a time. For a moment there I thought he was going to run right into me. It certainly made me wonder how that man had made it so far in the world."

Wer kann schon behaupten, mit dem mächtigsten Mann der Welt amerikanischen Präsidenten scheissen gewesen zu sein? *lol*
