8. Oliver North testified in a televised meeting with Congress about Iran-Contra.

It was by far the weirdest Congressional meeting I ever saw. It was supposed to be in a different room where he could show slides. They needed to move it to a bigger room. The room it ended up in was too light, I think because of the shades. When North started to testify, every time he talked about a different slide, which they could not see, he used his clicker. No one in the room thought that was odd. I could not figure out if he was making a joke or was just weird.

The only way to settle it is with a duel. cureautismnow Apr 2019 #1
