OOPS...........True story: While at University, I was accepted into an engineering honor society. At the initiation banquet, my family sat with another inductee and her parents. Her father, a scientist, began extolling the virtues of hard work and the rewards it brings. "If these kids don't take school seriously now," he said, "they'll end up pumping gas for the rest of their lives." Later, he asked my father about his occupation. After some hesitation, my father replied, "I own a gas station." |
