In the 1960s, President Lyndon B. Johnson often hosted guests at his Texas ranch. While driving them around his property, he would yell that the brakes were out before barreling into a lake – then howl in laughter at their terror-stricken faces. He was the proud owner of an amphibious vehicle.

Almost as funny as how proud he was of his endowment and “invited” his male staffers to early morning nude swimming sessions where this was obvious to everyone involved.
“Mr. President, why are there boat registration numbers on the side of your car?”
Go LBJ!
Saw one perfectly restored at a local cars and coffee, neat car. Guy said its not the best car, it’s not the best boat, but it is both
He also did this on a damn crossing. Man those water levels have gone down a ton since these photos. RIP Texas Hill Country water
“She’s out in the middle of nowhere with some dude she barely knows, and she looks around and what does she see? Nothin’ but the middle of the lake. “Ahh, there’s nowhere for me to run. What am I gonna do, say ‘no’?” But the thing is she’s not gonna say “no”, she would never say “no” – because of the implication.”
— LBJ, probably
I imagine him with a loud hollering of, “ oh $#!t, y’all hold on” before the we’ve lost the breaks statement just to add to his pleasure.
I want one
>Having named his penis “Jumbo,” Johnson was known to open up his trousers on a regular basis and wag his dick at others. There are numerous reports of this, from incidents when he seemed to do it as a (bad) joke, to times when he did it to intimidate people.
I mowed the lawn of a fighter pilot that my father was instructing when I was a kid. His wife was a pineapple heir from the Philippines. And he owned one of these cars. Exactly like in the photo. I was a little weirded out by it. 2 propellers stuck out the back about where the tail pipes should be and they spun whenever the car was moving. I was about 10 years old and had dreams about getting chewed up by those propellers!
Like it’s been said, it wasn’t a very good boat. You would get wet from the wash of other boats and it wasn’t very fast…. But it was a lot of fun!
That sounds hilarious. Love it.
And he would regularly call people into the bathroom to talk to him, while he’s using it..🤢🫢
