4. Lyndon B.’s ‘Johnson’ and his ‘drowning car’ was this prankster’s go-to.
According to sources, there is evidence indicating that Lyndon B. Johnson loved to show off his penis. Apparently, this was commonplace, to the point that he would urinate in public, and wave his Johnson at the women of the White House while exclaiming, “Jumbo” had a real workout tonight.” Despite this disturbing behavior, Johnson did have one trick up his sleeve that was indeed a great prank.
To unsuspecting visitors to his ranch in Texas, they would be visiting for some relaxation on a nice summer day. Unfortunately for them, this included Johnson terrifying other people. Johnson would take his friends and family for tours around the property in a blue convertible. Once the vehicle reached the steep incline that led to the lake, he’d begin to panic and scream, “The brakes don’t work! The brakes won’t hold!” as they would be racing to their presumed death. People would scream and try to jump out of the car, but to no avail. The president would let the car crash into the water only to start howling with laughter as it began to cruise along again.
As it turns out, Johnson owned an “Amphicar,” a car that could turn into a speedboat.
