Many of us watched the funeral of Ronald Reagan recently, and we shed a tear for our fallen hero.  If you're too young to have known him as president, you never experienced his great sense of humor. 

     In fact, when humorists rated the presidents according to their humor, Reagan was in the top five (Abraham Lincoln was named the funniest).  Reagan leavened his speeches and often disarmed his enemies with jokes such as the ones here.
