    I can explain it but I'll get the names wrong. Maybe I'll get LH to explain it.

    It's the political slogan from the 1840 Presidential election won by William Henry Harrison -

    Tippecanoe and Tyler, too!

    William Henry Harrison was the hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe and John Tyler was his Vice President

    Something LOH might not know - our family had a connection to this election and campaign! An ancestor of ours (y'know, Lady's Human and mine) was responsible for dyeing the fabric for Harrison's suit for his inauguration. Any history buffs know, though, that Harrison had a very short Presidency ...

    "After giving the longest inauguration speech (about 1 hour, 45 minutes - in the freezing cold and rain) in U.S. history, Harrison served only one month as president before dying of pneumonia on April 4, 1841."
