And though much more boring than sharing a few brews while watching the game, President James Garield managed to blow everyone away with his awesome, multilingual party trick.
James Garfield was fluent and had the ability to write in both Latin and Greek, a couple languages that don't get you very far in the United States unless you're just showing off.
He was also the very first ambidextrous president, so he was able to write with both hands—at the same time.
Garfield's solution to his friend's boredom is to have them ask him questions and then write the answers in both Latin and Greek at the same time!
That may not be the infinite well of entertainment that YouTube is these days, but I know I'd still be entertained!
