American President Calvin Coolidge had a reputation in private of being a man of few words and was nicknamed "Silent Cal."
A possibly apocryphal story has it that Dorothy Parker, seated next to him at a dinner, said to him, "Mr. Coolidge,
I've made a bet against a fellow who said it was impossible to get more than two words out of you." His reply: "You lose."
