Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?
Unless he were dumb as well, I would imagine he would just say, "Can I have a pair of sunglasses please?"
Yep. I knew it was easy but, it's 01:30 and I'm off to bed so I couldn't be waiting around all night. Later lads.

Obviously, you are not after George Washington.

I am a bit puzzled by where the trick might come. The only thing I can come up with is that the first president of the current 50 states was Dwight D Eisenhower, as Hawaii only gained its statehood in 1959. :dono:

Okay, some help. GW was NOT the first president of the United States of America.

Are you perhaps referring to Peyton Randolph?
