IF NOT, SKIP PAST THIS STARTITIONED AREA... THERE ARE TWO EQUALLY INTRIGUIN' & PLAUSIBLE VERSIONS ABOUT HOW IT GOT INTO THE HANDS OF MY VERY SKETCHY SOURCE... >>VERSION I: MY SOURCE ACQUIRED THE BUTTON IN 1963 FROM A STATE CO-CHAIRMAN FOR THE KENNEDY CAMPAIGN ... (PSSSST... OVER HERE ... TO BE FRANK, IT WAS THE HOME STATE OF THE PERSON KENNEDY SELECTED TO GIVE THE KEYNOTE ADDRESS AT THE 1960 DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION...) >>VERSION II: SETTING >> A TIMELESS-SHARE-RESORT ON AN ISLAND, WHICH, FOR CONVENIENCE, WILL HENCEFORTH BE REFERRED TO AS,"MARLON BRANDO'S ISLAND"...      SO-O-O-O... JFK, RFK, MLK, AMELIA EARHART, MALCOLM X, JANIS JOPLIN, JOHN LENNON, & KURT COBAIN WERE ALL DECORATIN' & PLAYFULLY BOOBY-TRAPPIN' THE HUT INHABITED BY GANDHI & JANIS AS A PRACTICAL JOKE FOR GANDHI'S BIRTHDAY ... Y'KNOW, TP-IN'... PUTTIN' KETSUP-COATED THREADS ACROSS THE DOORWAYS ... PLACIN' MARLON IN GANDHI -N- JANIS' BEDROOM, EATIN' A  HUGE STEAK, & ACCESSORIZED WITH NOTHIN' BUT A GASOLINE- SOAKED- TIRE- NECKLACE ...

WHILE GANDHI & HIS DISTRACTORS WERE CLEANIN' UP AFTER PLUNDERIN' JFK'S HUT, HE FIGURED OUT WHAT HIS FRIENDS WERE UP TO ... AND, HE GOT SO EXCITED AT THE PROSPECT OF A SURPRISE PARTY, THAT HE JUMPED UP AND BROKE HIS LEG ... AND PRETTY SEVERELY, TOO ... BECAUSE, Y'KNOW, AFTER ALL, IT WAS A KENNEDY COMPOUND FRACTURE... ...ANYHOOTENANNY, NOT SURPRISINGLY, THE PARTY WENT ON ANYWAY ...
