They just dont make em like they used to. (Teddy Roosevelt)

For those who arent aware..

In 1912 during a campaign speech, a store owner made his way through the crowd at a campaign speech and shot Teddy in the chest from 7 feet away.

The bullet was slowed by a 50 page speech in his pocket, and an eyeglasses case. The bullet was merely lodged in his chest.

He inspected himself, realized the bullet had not reached his lung, and walked back up and said :


"I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot. But it takes more than that to kill a bull moose.
Fortunately I had my manuscript, so you see I was going to make a long speech, and there is a bullet—there is where the bullet went through—and it probably saved me from it going into my heart. The bullet is in me now, so that I cannot make a very long speech, but I will try my best.”

He then gave his speech, which lasted 84 fricking minutes. He then calmly walked to a hospital.

They determined it was safer to leave the bullet in place, so he carried it with him forever.
