On Charlie Rose's talk show last Friday night, they played a footage of Reagan addressing at a school, probably his Alma Matter Eureka College. Someone in the audience asked him to comment on his less-than-excellent school records (the footage didn't show that part).
"Even now I wonder," said the former president, dressed in a colorful gown, "what I might have accomplished had I studied harder!"
The audience laughed.
One of Reagan's beloved characters is his good sense of humor. As he spoke that, Reagan had a smile on his face, and it was as if he had to make an effort to remain composed to finish sentence. He could "sense" the humor of his remarks.
...
Speaking of humor, here's another one on W. She was putting a hot water bag on her shoulder to help relief some discomfort. Very natually, she started padding on the hot water bag just as she would do to Baby i. Almost immediately, she realized it and reported her silly action to me. We had some good laughs about it.
But seriously, perhaps the hot water bag, too, needed a good burp.
