Once when Calvin Coolidge was vice president and presiding over the Senate, an altercation arose between two senators. Tempers flared, and one Senator told the other to go straight to hell. The ofended Senator stormed from his seat, marched down the aisle and stood before Mr. Coolidge, who was silently leafing through a book. "Mr President", he said, "Did you hear what he said to me?" Coolidge looked up from his book and said calmly, "You know, I have been looking through the rule book. You dont have to go."
