A wealthy man and his wife are going to a function, so they decide to give the butler the night off.
However, a couple of hours later the wife was bored, so she leaves the party and goes home, only to find the butler sitting alone at the table.
She orders the butler upstairs to her bedroom, where she locks the door.
“Jeeves,” she commands, “take off my hat.”
Jeeves promptly obeys.
“Now, Jeeves,” she says, “take off my dress.”
He obeys.
“Now, Jeeves, please remove my underwear.”
Breaking into a nervous sweat, Jeeves complies.
“Now Jeeves,” the wife says, “if I should ever catch you wearing my clothes again…”
--Magic of Words, A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet --
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet.
He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.”
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by.
He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat.
He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words.
He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.
That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.
The boy recognized his footsteps and asked,
“Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”
The man said,
“I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.
I wrote: ‘Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.’”
Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind.
The second sign reminded people how fortunate they were to have their sight.
Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
