WW3 and The Civil Service

[ORAC]

Sir Humphrey is down at the Givernment Archives researching plans for WW3 and has come across this gem.

Minister writes side note on memo ‘Spherical objects’
Later, Sir Humphrey enquires; ‘who is Spherical, and to what does he object?’

That is apparently from a story about Churchill towards the end of the War - he wrote 'Round objects' in the margin of a memo, only to be asked by an aide who Round was and why did he object?

I read it here on PPRuNe.
