The American History of June 5th (in America)

1851- The novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” first appears, leading to us not being able to make a joke about that.
1942- America declares war on Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania, much in the same way that an attractive inmate shivs the weakest prisoner on his first day to establish himself as “tough.”
1956- Elvis debuts the song “Hound Dog” to a national audience, shocking the nation when he participates in a graphic sex act with three women and two men. It’s a sex thing called the Hound Dog and you can probably find it on urban dictionary
2011- AFFotD staffers say to themselves, “Damn, nothing cool happened on June 5th, huh?”
