I love this first fact
Fact: On August 11, 1984, President Ronald Reagan was conducting a sound check for a radio program. "My fellow Americans," he said, "I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes." The joke was on him: The microphone was live and the entire world heard his words. Thus began National Presidential Joke day.
