| | In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.
"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.
When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies.You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.
What you think? :wink: |

I'd say it came from pity to slaves, or threats by gunpoint

2008 Presidential Debates
How important was this first debate and how did McCain and Obama do? (4) I watched the first in the series of Presidential Debates that the John McCain and Barack Obama are
engaging in. This first one was supposed to be primarily on foreign policy but half of it ended up
being on the 700 billion dollar bank bail-out and on how each presidential hopeful will get the
great country of the USA out of its current economic crisis. I feel that John McCain was slightly
drowned out by Obama concerning the passion and clarity of their speeches. However, I also feel
that McCain backed up his opinions better than Obama did by bringing scenarios in the p....

mistakes in word matching in a Japanese way, thus it is quite common that nobody else bu....
