My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician

It's one you want your Children and Grandchildren to read.

They won't believe this happened, but it DID.

Harry and Bess
(This seems unreal.)

Harry Truman was a different kind of President. 
He probably made as many, or more important decisions 
regarding our nation's history as any of the other 42 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness 
may rest on what he did after he left the White House.
The only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, 
which was in Independence, Missouri . His wife had 
inherited the house from her mother and father and, 
other than their years in the White House, 
they lived their entire lives there.
When he retired from office in 1952 his income was 
a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 
a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps 
and personally licking them, granted him an "allowance" 
and, later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year.
After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, 
Harry and Bess drove home to Missouri by themselves. 
There was no Secret Service following them.
When offered corporate positions at large salaries, 
he declined, stating, "You don't want me. 
You want the office of the President, and that
doesn't belong to me.
It belongs to the American people 
and it's not for sale."
Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing 
to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, 
he refused to accept it, writing, 
"I don't consider that I have done anything which 
should be the reason for any award, 
Congressional or otherwise."
As president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and food.
Modern politicians have found a new level of success 
in cashing on the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth.
Today, many in Congress also have found a way 
to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits 
of their offices. 
Political offices are now for sale (cf. Illinois).
Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed,
"My choices in life were either to be a piano player 
in a whore house or a politician. 
And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference!"

I say dig him up and clone him!
