From: Jim Moore Jr
Subject: The Spoken Word
The executive entrusted travel arrangements to his private secretary for his trip to Paris. She selected a fine hotel and told the manager to be sure the room was prepared with special accommodations: food, bar, flowers, etc. etc. etc.
Upon arrival, the exec was ushered to his room. In a suite adjoining, with the doors open, sat 3 lovely young ladies. The exec asked who the ladies were.
The manager bowed slightly and said, "They are the three et ceteras requested by your secretary, Monsieur."
We have a neighbor, who while not exactly a "gossip", just has to know everything that's going on. Once this lady asked another neighbor what my plans were for a garden I was working on at the entrance from the county road to our neighborhood.
Babette looked all around, as if to insure no one else was able to overhear and asked, "Can you keep a secret ?"
The lady assured Babette that indeed she could. Babette replied, "Well... so can I."
Bomb threats are taken quite seriously in the US. One man, upset at the abortion issue, telephoned a friend and tried to enlist his aid in a planned explosion at a local clinic.
The friend, aghast, said, "Are you nuts ? Don't you know your phone could be tapped ?" The man told his friend that they'd never bother with someone like him.
Shortly, the man was arrested by the FBI and promptly given a jail term. His lawyer pleaded for a sentence reduction and when called before the Judge, was asked if he realized how wrong his plans were.
"Indeed I do, your honor." the prisoner replied. "I guess I was important enuff after all to have my phone tapped."
