During a temporary shutdown of operations at a large plant, trained police dogs were hired to protect the building from vandalism. A company executive who was unaware of the new regime arrived at the plant early one morning.
As he was walking down the corridor to his office, he came face to face with one of the dogs, accompanied by his trainer.
The dog reacted to the presence of the stranger by baring his teeth and uttering a menacing growl. The executive froze to the spot. The trainer shouted in an authoritative tone the command: "Sit!"
The unnerved executive promptly sat down on the floor.
"The greatest enemy of learning is knowing."
At a White House dinner, a churchman offered a benediction and closed with the pious affirmation: "The Lord is on our side."
"Lord, when we are wrong, make us willing to change, and when we are right, make us easy to live with!"
The young woman sat in her stalled car, waiting for help. Finally two men walked up to her.
