It’s a delightful story I’ve heard dozens of times, and retold a few times myself:

 

Abraham Lincoln faced with some thorny issue that could be settled by a twist of language, or a slight abuse of power,

asks his questioner how many legs would a dog have, if we called the dog’s tail, a leg.

“Five,” the questioner responds confident in his mathematical ability to do simple addition.

“No,” Lincoln says. “Calling a dog’s tail a leg, doesn’t make it a leg.
