Living Next To The Clintons

Do you live next to the Clintons? Would you want to? Well, there may come a time when you have no choice. You may be Republican and can’t stand the former President but, oddly enough, won’t be Clinton-haters. Here’s where you might live:

Clinton, a city in Alabama, home to 1,284 people. In Connecticut, near the shore, known for cosmetics. Iowa’s has two colleges in its industrial area, while Clinton in Illinois has 8,014 people and an agricultural region.

There’s a Clinton, Ontario, Canada. What’s up there? A piano factory and flour mills; that’s what. In North Carolina, they grow chickens, sell fertilizer, pick cotton and chop trees. Mississippi’s lists just a sawmill and a college. They’ve got one in New Zealand, as well, with a Port Clinton in Australia, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

There’s no place with my hero’s name on it, but (close enough?) a Trumann in Arkansas, where their main industry is lumber. But you can visit a tiny little city (yes, it’s a city) of 2,008 people, Nixon, Texas, where peanuts are a big thing.

Millard Fillmore fell in love with, and married, his redheaded teacher in a one-room schoolhouse he attended. He later realized he had been "unconsciously stimulated by the companionship" of his teacher. Two counties have his name, in Minnesota and Nebraska. A city in California, as well, known for fruit and oil wells, and one in Utah which, for a time, was the capital of Utah territorial government.

Do not let this information INTO Florida. Sounds like a defense!

"unconsciously stimulated" - Why couldn't I use that instead of "I really like you for your mind" drivel.

"Ah, whenst thou dost let the stick of chalk lie idly in thine hands, I canst think of naught else but thy hand caressing mine manhood in all its glory.

"Thy red hair, like the red passion stirring up within mine body and infecting the very soul Our Creator hath placed within us.

"The rag, into which I would so gladly..."

"Mr. Fillmore! Are you paying attention to me? And put both hands on the desk. How many times do I have to tell you about that!"

Millard required eyeglasses shortly thereafter. His pimples however beat a hasty retreat!
