JFK's coffin...

A coffin purchased by the Secret Service shortly after Kennedy was pronounced dead in Parkland Hospital, was used to transport his body back to Washington in Air Force One.

By the time the coffin arrived, the handles had been broken off (so that it would fit through the plane door), and blood and bodily fluid had ruined the interior, making it an unsuitable coffin for a Presidential funeral.

The Kennedy family was concerned that the coffin could end up as a showpiece in a macabre museum, or private collection, and they didn't want to assume and maintain ownership of the relic, either.

The coffin was ultimately filled with weights, poked through with holes, taken by a military aircraft, and dropped at an unspecified spot into the Atlantic Ocean, at Robert Kennedy’s request.

Lest anyone be confused, NO.... JFK's body was NOT in the sunken coffin.

Kennedy was buried at Arlington Cemetery in a new, different coffin.

Kennedy was buried at Arlington Cemetery in a new, different coffin.

and the original coffin was a "handley brittanica"
built by the elgin casket company.

in addition,
just before his assassination,
nellie connally turned round and said to jfk...
"mr. president, they can't make you believe now that there are not some in dallas who love and appreciate you, can they?"

his final words were...
"no, they sure can't."

"ambulance driver"?

this is oft said about them,
as if that is their role,
simply to drive an ambulance.

it is incredibly disrespectful.
they are highly trained paramedics,
who can also drive.

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team."

Mike Myers is Canadian... The 1st Shrek movie he did was completed with his regular Canadian voice.

When he heard the original soundtrack and listened to how he sounded, he maintained it wasn’t the right voice for the character, and thought it should have more of a 'Working Class' Scottish Voice.

Producer Steven Spielberg, however, was pleased with it and wouldn’t pay him to re record the entire movie that he felt was totally satisfactory.

Mike insisted that he be allowed to re record the entire soundtrack without any additional pay. Spielberg realized how intense Mike felt, so agreed to let him do it.

Mike had relatives that were working class Scottish people, and he copied how they sounded to record what became the signature voice for Shrek.
