Remember when people used to write brief descriptions on the back of photographs to either offer context to the image or preserve their memory of the moment so they don’t look back on it years later and wonder “what the hell was going on here??” President Harry Truman did this, apparently.
Here’s his best. It’s priceless.

Truman always loved being a wiseass with Stalin.
