I have it on good authority that these have been around for over 200 years. In fact, one of the US's founding fathers is memorialized in this way. Does anyone know who it was?

Dear TEd: I couldn't find history of any "founding Father" being cremated and/or
buried at sea. Best I could find was Spiro Agnew.

Bill, Bill, Bill:

After all this time you are still taking me far too seriously. This was a setup! I'll see if anyone else cares to bite before I reveal the horrendous pun.

Dear TEd: I went back and read your prospectus again. Still don't see
hidden hook. Now I wait to see if our more perceptive people get it.

That's not it, but it certainly is funny!

I'll give a hint: this person was never president of the US, and the pun has to do with a modern-day singer.

TEd

PS:

The Jeffurnson guess was just as funny!
