Hey, that article by LS gave me a thrill up my leg.

(Or is it down my leg?)

Anyway, ThankQ. Good stuff about “Sleepy” Jeff.

I worked with an old pipefitter who was in the Signal Corp in WWII. For a while he was helping set up comms for Eisenhower.

This old boy told me he got to be in on a staff meeting where Ike was at the head of the table appearing to go to sleep while all the underlings got a chance to have their say.

At the end of the speeches, he told me Ike awoke and pointed to one staff member in particular: “We’ll do it his way.”

Yep...”asleep”.

I thought it was a tingle. But maybe it’s a thrill.

How’s that pant crease?
