Ahhh...so THATS what service means....
Original Message   Jul 4, 2005 11:51 am

At one time in my life, I thought I had a handle on the meaning of the word "service."

"It's the act of doing things for other people."

Then I heard these terms which reference the word

SERVICE:

Internal Revenue Service
Postal Service

Telephone Service

Civil Service

City & County Public Service

Customer Service

Service Stations

Then I became confused about the word "service ."
This is not what I thought "service" meant.

 

So today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to "service " a few of his cows. BAM! It all came into perspective. Now I understand what all those "service" agencies are doing to us.

Some hobbies come with occupational hazards...and some hobbies you enjoy so much they become a habit you find hard to beat after a while.
