President Eslpod Family Surprising Received Quickly Hand Game

The life of U.S. Presidents might seem to be "an open book" (something that is known to almost everyone, with no secrets), but there are some surprising secrets. Here are some "lesser-known" (not known by many people) facts about some of the country's "former" (previous; in the past) presidents, although some of them may be "myths" (things that are not true, but that are believed by many people).

President John Quincy Adams often "went skinny-dipping" (swam without any clothes on) in the Potomac River!

President Andrew Jackson had a "parrot" (a large, colorful bird that copies sounds and appears to talk) that knew how to "swear" (say bad words). It's reported that the parrot was "present" (in the room) during Jackson's funeral, but it started swearing so much that it had to be "removed" (taken out of the room).

President Ulysses S. Grant once received a "speeding ticket" (a written piece of paper received from a police officer for moving too quickly in a vehicle) for riding his horse too quickly down the street.

President James A. Garfield was "ambidextrous" (able to use the left and right hands equally well) and apparently could even write in Latin with one hand and in Greek with another hand "simultaneously" (at the same time).

President Warren Harding enjoyed playing "poker" (a card game that involves "gambling" (risking money on a game to try to win more)), but in one game, he lost all of the White House "china" (fancy dishes) in a "wager" (a gambling bet).
