Of course, Reagan was the target of some urban legends as well, but they weren't nearly as inspired. My favorite was the one that claimed he said, in relation to whether we should prevent logging to maintain our forests, "If you've seen one redwood, you've seen 'em all."

Actually, what he said was, "a tree is a tree - how many more do you need to look at?"
