People can’t stop cracking up over the former president’s bizarre, bumbling speech.
Speaking outside Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, Donald Trump left everyone confused when he attempted to explain the Battle of Gettysburg, praised (and invented a quote from) Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and generally had no idea what he was talking about.
When his off-the-cuff remarks hit late-night television on Monday, the hosts couldn’t hide their laughter.
“You have to hand it to this guy: On the weekend before his unprecedented criminal trial begins, he somehow manages to overshadow it with this broken-brained interpretation of what happened at Gettysburg during the Civil War,” Jimmy Kimmel quipped.
I took it as him saying the quote he was referencing - Don’t fight uphill - and directing it to his ‘boys’.
When was the last time you heard someone say ‘me boys’ who wasn’t Scottish or a 16th century pirate?
I think I came across a pirate last year who said it, but it turned out to be someone walking to a costume party.
I ran into a pirate who said it recently as well. I was transporting a shipment off the coast of Somalia when my ship was come upon by a speedboat full of armed somali men. They boarded quickly and tied me and the rest of the crew to the railings. To the sound of a “thunk, think, thunk” up the plank, the men lined up on either side, guns at the ready. Over the deck comes this massive, 7 foot tall white man with a long, scratchy looking beard, wearing a tricorn cap, a long, raggedy coat, and a parrot upon his shoulder. Looking down, I was able to see the thunking was coming from the walk of his peg leg.
“Yarrrr, what be the situation me boys?” Said the large man. One of the armed men spoke to him in a language I didn’t understand, though that seemed to be no trouble for the bearded giant. “Aye then, let’s load’er up 'fer we’re sent to dance with Jack Ketch!”
They stole 5 crates of oranges and then left.
Sir, I come here an honest man of property with a dowery of five chickens, and I ask for your post’s hand in marriage.
Throw in a few oranges and we have a deal
