Harry S Truman (US president 1945-1952):
"My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there’s hardly any difference."
After he left the White House, Truman was invited to visit San Francisco shipping mogul George Killion. When his driver got lost, Truman rang the doorbell of a nearby house and asked for directions. The homeowner couldn’t help him. “I hope I’m not hurting your feelings,” he said, “but you look exactly like that old s.o.b. Harry Truman.”
“I hope I’m not hurting your feelings either,” responded Truman, “but I am that s.o.b.”
