Dwight Eisenhower was the only one of our presidents to have been named Dwight, so of course he decided to be known as Ike to confuse future generations who will undoubtedly fail history class because they mix him up with Ike Turner. The best part, and this is true, is that it turns out that Ike wasn't actually named Dwight anyway. He was named David. And yet people have problems with trans folks changing their pronouns.

Ike supposedly got the idea for the Interstate Highway System when he saw the Autobahn in Germany, but rumor has it that his fetish was asphalt paving. Mamie apparently had to dress like a steamroller in the bedroom. Make of that what you will.
