Here is another story about Abraham Lincoln past President of the United States

A friend thought Lincoln took much counsel with David Davis,
Judge of the Circuit Court, but Lincoln enlightened him
with the following story:
"They had side judges down in New Hampshire, and to show
the folly of the system, one who had been a side judge for
twenty years said the only time the chief judge ever
consulted him was at the close of a long day's session,
when he turned to the side judge and whispered, 'Don't your back ache?'"
