What bad things did Lincoln do?

Answer 1

Abraham Lincoln was a storyteller. He told many dirty stories. The early writers of Lincoln found the stories too dirty to print. Those stories have been lost.

　

James Gentry hired Abraham Lincoln and his son Allen Gentry to take a load of salted hams and other merchandise by flatboat to New Orleans to sell. On the trip, Abraham was able sell some of the merchandise along the way. He took in some counterfeit money. Instead of taking the loss, Abraham decided to pass the counterfeit money off to unsuspecting people.

　

Two friends went along on his second trip to New Orleans, John Hanks and Denton Offutt. Along the way Offutt decided to buy some hogs. The hogs were wild and refused to cooperate. Abraham had the idea to sew their eye shut. Abe held their heads, and John their tails, while Offutt sewed their eye lids shut. The hogs were easy to handle after that.

　

Two friends of Abraham Lincoln were just married. Abraham arranged to have each man go to the other mans bedroom while the newlywed gals were already in bed. Each man climbed into the bed with the wife of the other man. Neither couple thought it was funny.

　

When Abraham was in his early thirties or late twenties, while traveling, he was able to stop over at some friends. The couple had two almost grown daughters. The family had three beds. The girl's beds were arranged next to each other so that the foot of one bed was touching the head of the other. The girls were going to sleep in one bed and Abraham was going sleep in the other with his head at the foot of the other bed. One of the girls decided it would be fun to rest her foot on Abraham's head. Instead of throwing her leg off, he reached up and stroked her leg. The girl found this pleasurable. Abraham was stroking the inside of her leg and thigh. The girl seemed to be enjoying it. When Abraham reached too high, the girl bolted and ran to her mother to tell on Abraham. The mother told the girl to calm down so that she would not wake her father. She said that he might kill Abraham. Abraham decided it was time to leave, and left.
