 Lincoln's assassin shot from a theatre, and hid in a warehouse. Kennedy's assassin shot from a warehouse, and hid in a theatre.

Both Lincoln and Kennedy had vice president's named Johnson.

There are a few more. I can't think of them right now.

 Dude, not for nothing, but that was kinda the point of the joke :)

Coincidence, nothing more, and if you're willing to stretch it enough (and it looks like you are), you can find coicidences in almost anything. [/quote]
 Case in point--Don Novello in the "Gilda Live" stage performance (not to mention the film) did a terrific riff using Jimmy Carter and Calvin Coolidge--calling it the "Carter-Coolidge Coincidenza".  An example, and forgive my bad transliteration:

"Carter" comiencia con la letre "C"
"Coolidge" comiencia con la letre "C"
(after a pause, and some more Italian that I can't remember)
Y "Coincidenza" comiencia con la letre "C"

At that point, he breaks back into English and says "That's good stuff."  And it was.
