News story reminds me of old JFK "golden toilet" joke Read in the news that thieves had been charged with stealing a $6 million gold toilet and it reminded me of this "classic." For some reason one of the characters in this joke when it was told to me was JFK. The accent maybe made it more humorous. JFK is on a talk show telling the story of when he was hosting a large fundraising party at his home before the 1960 election. JFK: *And, uh, as I was socializing, a man approached me and said, "Mr. Kennedy, I want to thank you for your hospitality and, if I may, I was rather impressed with your gold-plated toilet seat." I responded to the man, "Your kind words mean a lot to me, sir. But I must tell you, I, uh, do not own a gold-plated toilet seat ... but, uh, now I know who pooped in my tuba."*
