O.K & Booze

[Jonathan Lighter]

FOX NEWS LERT ! ! !

Moments ago, a political historian appeared on "Fox & Friends" to announce that the common words "O.K." and "booze" both "come from" the 1840 race for the White House!


"O.K." originally meant "Old Kinderhook," a nickname for Martin Van Buren!!!

"Booze" comes from the name of E. C. Booz [sic], a whiskey dealer who sold whiskey during the campaign!!!   And here's an old, unlableled whiskey bottle to prove it!!!

Stay tuned for more breaking news....on Fox!!!!!!!!!!
