Now you know the rest of the story.
For the win!
I was hoping to read that Harvey participated in Hoover's drag queen parties.
IMO, way too obvious for a threadwinner
Wrong. Double entendre involving threaded comments and string theory, quantum win!
Afraid not. Double entendre with threaded comments and string theory, Quantum Win!
Years ago Harvey came to Wichita to give a Town Hall talk (a local lecture series). He made passing reference to liquor never touching the lips of the Harvey household. Later that night, my dad helped him up when he fell down at the Lancers Club after a few too many.
And now YOU know...
... that he took it by enema.
These days civilians (read: non-LEOs) are gunned down for much less.
Did Harvey have to shave Hoover's back? Kinda hard to fight crime wearing high heels, wasn't it, J. Ed?
good day.
And that little boy, that nobody liked... grew up to be... Al Gore. And NOW you know... the rrrrrest of the story.
