Here's mine-
Some of the Lincoln/Kennedy cents came glued to a card that says:

Both have 7 letters in their names
Both were shot on Fridays.
Both were shot in presence of their wife.
Both focused their work on civil rights.
Both had their elections contested in court.
Kennedy had secretary named Lincoln that warned him not to go to Dallas where he was shot.
Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy warned him not to go to the theater where he was shot.
In both cases the next president/successor was named Johnson (Andrew Johnson then Lyndon Johnson)
Both names had 13 letters.
Both were southern democrats.
Lyndon was born in 1908.
Andrew was born in 1808.
Booth was a southerner favoring unpopular ideas.
Oswald was a southerner favoring unpopular ideas.
Oswald shot kennedy from a book depository/warehouse then hid in a theater.
Booth shot Lincoln in a theater then hid in a warehouse.
