:::::::The Great Depression couldn't do ''anything'' to Abraham Lincoln, as he had been dead for over sixty years at the time the Great Depression began. This sentence isn't going to make sense at all; it's just a parody on all the stories old people tell. Thus, there's no reason to assume "caught" because "fought" doesn't make sense: no word will make sense here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:49, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

::::::::Yes.  This is just exaggerating on how old Strong Sad says his Great Grandma is.  Abraham Lincoln is well known, and so is the Depression.  They are each from a long time ago, so it is just making fun of old people's stories.

::::::::I've got my big old Webster's dictionary out, and one of the definitions of "get" is "to cause to come or go" or "to cause to be in a certain position or condition". So, with this definition, saying "the Depression got Abraham Lincoln naked" would grammatically be correct. I guess "fought" would be grammatically correct too, but to me, it doesn't make as much sense, as the Depression is not a millitary or some other type of force that usually fights. I still keep hearing fought, though. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 01:04, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
