Bonus point for the name of the GP.

Apart from JFK only one other ex US President is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Who was he and what was his unique achievement?

Taft. And I think he held another prominent role (not sure what) at the same time as being President?

DaveT · Apr 15, 2020

Yes it is Taft and yes it is another role. Anyone know what?

Oh I see.

But I really should note that the whole point of a fāg was that they were supposed to entertain you.

Taft is the only person to be US President AND Chief Justice.

Nope ... but in the right ballpark.

We have a winner .....

Strictly speaking the answer is a flushing toilet but that's good enough for me.

Navcorr · Apr 15, 2020

A toilet is a kinda "ballpark". Any Mel Brooks fans around - in small doses maybe.
High Anxiety was my fav. Where he suffers from an obsession with Hitchcock films
