I should have thought of this two days ago, but here it is better late than never. This was sent to me by my dear uncle Louis, who was head of equine surgery at Mizzou for many years. He has a wonderful sense of humor and always makes me smile! Hope this makes you smile, too.
I became confused when I heard the word 'service' used with these agencies:
Internal Revenue 'Service'
U.S. Postal 'Service'
Telephone 'Service'
Cable TV 'Service' Civil 'Service'
State, City, County & Public 'Service'
Customer 'Service'
This is not what I thought 'service' meant.
But today, I overheard two farmers talking and one of them said he had hired a bull to 'service' a few cows.
BAM!!! It all came into focus. Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us.
Now you are as enlightened as I am.

Hey Susan, thank your Uncle Louis for the good laugh. Our Australian government and it's departments are servicing us too. In every other country retirement age is dropping, our brilliant government is talking about bringing the retirement age up to 70? They can't afford for us all to retire at a younger age, so they thing we should all keep on working till we're ready to drop.

Maybe they WANT you to drop in your work boots, Louise, then they don't have to pay you retirement--just funeral expenses!
