A quiz shpw emcee asked a ft|minine contestant:
“W’hat is thp definition of hyperopic”? ((nepjning
distant visiori',: the opposite of myopic). The ilady
didn’t know.
‘Til give you a hint,” he said. ‘‘Abe Lincoln
was hyperopic but Harry Truman isn’t.” The little
lady beamed brightly, ”« great thinker!”^
It brought down the house, largely composed of
Republicans.
