Bible Note: Doc, President Calvin Coolidge was renowned for his economy of language. Once a social butterfly, upon discovering that she had been assigned a seat next to the President at a Washington gala dinner party, boasted to a friend, "I'll bet you I can get President Coolidge to say more than two words to me." Later after she took her set next to the President, she said to him, "Mr. President, I have a bet with a friend that I can get you to say more than two words to me this evening." Coolidge smiled, and leaning toward her, whispered in her ear, "You lose." ..... Who among us could not profit by this lesson on brevity from "Silent Cal"? --Hank |
