Former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill
once said that he went to the BBC office for an interview by taxi. When he arrived, he asked the driver to wait for about forty minutes until he came back.
But the driver apologized and said he couldn’t wait because he needed to get home to listen to a speech by Winston Churchill.
Churchill said, “I was both surprised and pleased to see how eager this man was to listen to my speech.”
So, without revealing his identity, Churchill took out ten pounds and handed it to the driver.
Upon seeing the money, the driver immediately said:
“Sir, I’ll wait for you as long as you want… to hell with Churchill!”
