I am confident that Brian Dirck, a connoisseur of Lincoln kitch and gossip, will enjoy this one, courtesy of the New York Post:
November 5, 2007 -- DID Abe Lincoln's honesty prevent him from sowing his oats? In historian Gerald Prokopowicz's upcoming book, "Did Lincoln Own Slaves?," he writes that before Lincoln was the nation's 16th president, he visited a hooker, took off his clothes, then "thought to ask how much this was going to cost. Five dollars was the answer, but he only had two. The young lady assured him his credit was good, as his reputation for honesty had preceded him . . . [He] left, unfulfilled but unburdened by additional debt."
