Hey all, this is a piece I wrote for a conspiracy class. Publishing online for some extra cred lol, please have mercy. I may have messed up a bit in the background of JFK's assassination, there are definitely people out there who know more about this than me! Additionally, lackluster info was found online about Oswald's service in the U.S. military, and his experience living in the Soviet Union. Also, I definitely didn't get into all the nitty gritty of the multiple Umbrella Man theories. Please feel free to correct me or discuss!
“The Umbrella Man” and Modern JFK Conspiracy
Ever since the day John F. Kennedy was fatally shot, conspiracy has swirled around his legacy, his family, and even agencies of the American government. Although these conspiracies appear to have dwindled over time, if you were to survey an American’s opinion on the matter, it would be quite likely that they subscribe to a conspiracy regarding the late President’s assassination. As of 2013, it is believed that around 62% of Americans believed in at least one JFK conspiracy theory (Todd, Chuck, et al.).
Before we dive into a discussion of some of the most popular theories, it is important to recount the events around JFK’s assassination. JFK originally wanted to travel to Texas in attempts to unify the Democratic Party, and to garner support among Texan residents in attempts to win over the state in the upcoming Presidential election (Siegel). To carry out these unification attempts, Kennedy thought doing a motorcade right through the heart of Dallas would drum up public support. It was during this car ride that Kennedy was fatally shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, who was arrested promptly after the assassination. Later that same day, Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner, fatally shot Oswald at point-blank range. The President’s successor was sworn in, and JFK’s funeral was held the same day, with over 250,000 Americans passing by to pay their respects (“November 22, 1963: Death of the President”, Figure 1).

Upon interrogation, Oswald revealed himself to be a communist, and a supporter of the Soviet Union. And, although the Red Scare had occurred several decades prior, communism was still highly stigmatized in the 1960s. It is now known that Oswald briefly was welcomed into the Soviet Union after offering

While the NFL and college football continued to operate to the best of their abilities, plenty of football-savvy servicemen stationed overseas decided to pass the time by playing games for their posts and units against other installations. In the Pacific, a rather infamous example came on New Year's Day 1946 when Heisman Trophy winner Angelo Bertelli and Bears star Bill Osmanski pitted teams of Marines against each other in the ruins of Nagasaki in the "Atom Bowl", a game that I covered here.
In Europe, many games took place between service members. On New Year's Day 1945, Florence, Italy, was the site of one particular matchup...
This was the First and Last Spaghetti Bowl.
#Origins
January 1, 1945. As the Second World War entered its final year, Allied troops abroad but not in combat were looking for ways to pass the time and ring in the new year. For Americans, what holiday tradition is better than a good old game of football?
It was not uncommon for American servicemen stationed stateside or overseas to organize football games during the war. Besides being a beloved sport, it also kept them in shape should their services be required on the battlefield. Heck, American POW camps even organized a game between German prisoners.
One peaceful December day in Florence, Italy, the 12th Air Force received a surprise delivery: 120 football uniforms with pads, helmets, and cleats. Surprise would be an understatement as well: the men received no explanation on why they were being delivered here nor what to do with them. Well, what else are you supposed to do with 120 perfectly good uniforms?^[1]
The 12th Air Force Special Service, tasked with keeping the men entertained until they could return home, put out a bulletin to the rest of the 12th and the 5th Army, who was also stationed in Florence, asking for any interest in holding a football game.^[1]

... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!
Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

(True story, please groan with me.)
