Bill Clinton Comedical Historian Moment

I leave the following story for future humor historians. I recall meeting Bill Clinton when he was Governor of Arkansas. He told a joke about three men who were running for Sheriff of Hog County, Arkansas earlier in the 20th century. (There is no actual Hog Country, yet Governor Clinton explained that one of the counties adopted Hog County as its nickname.) The first candidate stood up before a crowd of voters and explained how he lost his leg during the Civil War and thus he had the courage to be elected Sheriff. The second candidate stood up before the crowd and explained how he lost his arm during the Civil War and thus he should be elected Sheriff. The third candidate was a younger man who had both arms and both legs. That candidate explained that he was too young to have served in the Civil War, but that he had served with Teddy Roosevelt on the charge of San Juan Hill. He claimed that Teddy Roosevelt turned to him and said "you realize, the first man to the top of that hill is going to elected President someday." The candidate then said he responded "You go ahead, Teddy. All I ever want to be is Sheriff of Hog County."
