George Washington gave the shortest inaugural address in history, all because of his painful dentures. He only had one real tooth left at the time of his second inaugural, and his speech consisted of only 135 words long and took only 90 seconds to deliver.
George Washington was shot at several times yet was never harmed, even though he once "had four bullet sthrough my coat, and two horses shot under me yet escaped unhurt", according to a letter he wrote to his brother after the battle at Monongahela river.
