The Delicate Matter of 'service'

When I was just a wee farm lad growin' up in Hoosier land, There were many things about farm life I didn't quite understand! One day I saw a neighbor leadin' a big bull down the gravel road. I asked my dear old Pa about that and this is what I was told. "Son, he's takin' that mean old bull to "service" a neighbor's cow." The implications of that went over my tousled head then, but now, I associate it with the "service" we git when dealin' with the IRS! (Don't you think I handled a very delicate matter with a modicum of finesse!) Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired (c) All Rights Reserved
