Back in the day there were a lot of Spiro Agnew jokes, one of them being; "Did you hear that Mickey Mouse is wearing a Spiro Agnew watch." The idea being that Spiro was somewhat cartoonish. Some clever entrepreneur named Doherty had a bunch made and the rest is history.

The only other Spiro Joke I remember was "Did you hear, Spiro Agnew's library burned down. Both books were burned and he hadn't finished coloring one yet." Which got recycled for George W.

The day he resigned I was at a choir practice. We were rehearsing Vivaldi's Gloria. It was suggested that Cum Sancto Spiritu be sung Cum Sancto Spiro Too. Dr. Anderson vetoed the idea.
