History is usually a random, messy affair
Mark Twain. A Horse s Tail
The one who tells the stories rules the world
Hopi saying
Sometimes the funniest things are true
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark wrote about
their farts. Sam Houston of Texas was the first man
to wear beads in Congress. America s Funny But
True History is about just this kind of real, factual,
funny history.
There s a saying that if you don t know your
own history, you are condemned to repeat it. I say
that if we can t laugh at ourselves, we re in even
worse trouble. Human beings do odd, strange
things and no one people has a monopoly on mak-
ing mistakes. History is all about real lives and
real people -- and these same people often loved to
tell a joke. If you can share a joke, it s hard to hate.
There are facts and jokes in Westward, Ha-ha!
that will make you laugh out loud, some that will
make you grin and groan, and others that will
make you squirm. While you re laughing, remem-
ber, the information in this book is true, at least as
far as anvbodv knows.
