A pocket full of coins
I’ve got a pocket full of coins
A pocket full of pennies, nickels, and dimes
I’ve got a pocket full of coins
And when I walk they jingle
I’ve got a pockets full of coins
They shine in the big bright sun
I’ve got a pocket full of coins
They taste and smell metallic, don’t eat them!
I’ve got a pocket full of coins
The weight begins to rip my pocket seams
I’ve got a pocket full of coins
And RIIIP
They all fell out

Knightly News The Umbrella Man The "Umbrella Man" has been speculated for decades, all the way back to the assassination researchers, Josiah Thompson and Richard Sprague, of John F. Kennedy. The two researchers noticed a man holding a black umbrella on a beautiful sunny day in Dallas, Texas (as shown in picture A). He was one of the closest bystanders to the President when he was struck by the first bullet, soon followed by the second. As Kennedy's limousine neared, the man opened up and lifted high the umbrella, and then spun the umbrella clockwise as the president passed by him. In the aftermath of the assassination, he sat down on the curb before walking off the scene to the Texas School Book Depository. Many suspect that he was hoisting the umbrella as a signal. Others believe that the umbrella itself a weapon and that the man knew Lee Harvey Oswald. Nick: So the Umbrella Man goes hand in hand with the popular theory of multiple gun men. Many speculated that such a job couldn’t be carried out by a single man and that led to the Umbrella Man, and the suspicion that he may have shot a poison dart to immobilize Kennedy before the second gunman took the kill shot. Sloane: Yes, but it’s never stated that Kennedy’s body revealed poison in the autopsy. Nick: Well, they may not be telling us the whole story. Sloane: Fair enough, but fifteen years later, the Umbrella Man himself, Louie Steven Witt, disproved the whole theory by testifying he simply brought the umbrella to ‘heckle’ the president not murder him. When the committee asked about his umbrella being a weapon or anything of the sort he responded, clearly confused, by rejecting the claim. Nick: He might have lied, who would just willingly admit to murder right. He could have just made an elaborate backstory so even if he got suspicion he wouldn’t look guilty after all. Duh Sloane: Well arguing that everyone is lying or keeping facts from us isn’t going to get us anywhere. And for your information, he told the committee members that it was just supposed to be a ‘bad joke’ regarding Kennedy’s father because a black umbrella was the symbol of the Nazi supporting prime minister whom Joseph Kennedy had supported. Nick: You got me there! Sloane: The guy even claimed that he had no idea about the whole ‘umbrella theory’ until he voluntarily came forward to testify. So clearly, he wasn’t lying in his testimony because he didn’t have a reason to lie to the committee members. Nick: I still think it’s a possibility but yikes he looks pretty innocent. Sloane: Reasonably, the most sinister action he might have been doing is hoisting the umbrella as a signal to the shooter, or shooters, that the President was in range. But hey, we’ll all keep speculating because there are no wrong answers, at least that’s what they say… |
