When a group of Ike’s advisers had wrestled with a problem until they were bleary-eyed and could scarcely communicate with each other, he told them he was reminded of a cross-eyed judge who went into court one day and found he had a cross-eyed jury.
”What’s your name?” he asked the first juror.
The second juror replied, “John Jones.”
”I didn’t speak to you,” remonstrated the judge.
The third juror chimed in: “I didn’t say anything.”
