Good morning. Those telephone ads are hysterical.

This one really cracks me up:

Concentrate While Telephoning

It is almost impossible to carry on a satisfactory telephone conversation with a man who talks with a cigar in the corner of his mouth, holds his telephone at an awkward angle and has his attention on something other than what you are saying.

Frequent interruptions and requests mar the pleasure of the talk. Concentrate on what is being said and talk with a smile.

I wonder what the person who wrote that copy would think today with all the much, much advanced technology, including cell phones in cars.

Torture and the Myth of Never Again

A long time ago, with mediocre grades and no athletic ability, I applied for a Rhodes Scholarship. I guess the Rhodes committee at my school needed practice, and I found myself undergoing a rigorous oral examination. Here was the final question they fired at me, probing my ability to think morally and justly: You are a soldier. Your prisoner has information that might save your life. The only way to obtain it is through torture. What do you do?
