Dogwonder decided he would give up working for an evil microchip company and become a civil servant. He applied for, and got a job as a janitor in the Pentagon, down in Washington. Every morning while walking through the Pentagon pushing his janitorial cart, he passes by a portrait of Jefferson Davis hanging on the wall.

Why does he pass Jefferson Davis's portrait every morning?

You mean Jefferson Davis Hogg?

This begs the question of why, every evening, he dines on Jefferson Davis's portrait in the first place?

Well Jefferson Davis a general or something in the US Army before the Civil War so his portrait is there?

I just googled him. Before the Civil War, He was a two-time US senator and a Mexican-American war hero.

Maybe that's it. Don't know really. What other historical figures are in the hallway where Dogwonder works?

You are on the correct track. However, the answer lies in the location where it is hung.

 

[dogwonder]

Because he is avoiding his boss and this is a good place to hide?

I'll go with it is the picture on the men's room door...

Jefferson Davis was the President of the Confederacy I believe. Which begs the question, why is his picture in the Pentagon?

Maybe something to do with all the country's leaders the US has taken down. Or foreign leaders who have claimed to rule part of the states...

Nope.

Think about where it is hanging. That's the key to answerin this one.

All former secretaries of war have portraits? I mean cripes, tomorrow I'll just go ask the boys at the NSA if I have to...

THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!!!!! haha, maybe they were just putting up old leaders. Because Jefferson Davis was a huge leader during a complicated time in our country.

WINNER

Davis served as the U.S. Secretary of War under President Pierce long before the Civil War.

We no longer have a Secretary of War. We have a Secretary of Defense.

Awesome guess.

I would like to say it was an awesome guess but a google of "Jefferson Davis Portrait Pentagon" did the trick...

Sometimes I'm a dim bulb.

I didn't realize this was a riddle. I just thought you were hacked off that a Confederate hero was memorialized in the Pentagon.

Pentagon was indeed the key term in there...
