Of course I put it together backwards and the seat,
instead of leaning back, leaned forward. She really had a

There is a story that Abraham Lincoln had the front legs of his office guest
chairs shortened slightly so that the "guests" would be sublimily urged on
their way. No idea if it is true or not.




I think I may have heard that...who knows if that's true?

I do recall though, back in those days, Lincoln would actually spend
some time talking to people who just walked up the the White House and
ask to see him.
