"General Grant, you may have defeated us at Appomattox, but we'll roll our eggs all over your Yankee grass whenever we want. The South shall rise again!"White House Easter Egg Roll
The White House Easter egg roll was originally in front of Capitol Hill. That site was closed off after President Ulysses S. Grant signed a bill in 1876 banning egg-rolling because it caused too much wear and tear to the lawns. The law was so strictly enforced that the Capitol Police had to eject some die-hard rollers.Dear 1876, what is wrong with you? Signed, the future.
I'm just glad we've moved our focus from egg-rolling based laws to the real reasons for the season: rabbits, candy, championship golf, religious fears that the gays are crashing the White House egg roll, and a zombified savior feasting on the brains of the nonbelievers.
