Let's Talk "Service"...!

Something a little different for you to consider this Thursday.

I become confused when I hear the word "Service" used with these agencies:

 Internal Revenue 'Service'

 US Postal 'Service'

 Telephone 'Service'

 Cable TV 'Service'

 Civil 'Service'

 Federal, State, City, & public 'Service'

 Customer 'Service'

This is NOT what I thought 'Service' meant.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had bought a bull to 'Service' his cows. BAM!!! It all came into focus. Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us.

You are now as enlightened as I am!

Coffee out on the patio this morning. I'm in the mood for some sweet potato pie. Want some?

    . . . and now I know why my local electric company is Public SERVICE of NH.

    The "service" the whole state.

    Jim, you done knocked that one out of the park! Ha ha! Yep, we're all being "serviced". Maybe that's why those kids walk around with their britches hanging off their hind ends...
