A new department store announced that it was going to
give out free TVs to the first 100 people who came to the
store on its Grand Opening Day.
The store was scheduled to open at 9:00 am, but people
were already camped out in front of the store by 6:00 am,
determined to receive their free TV.
When it was almost 9:00 am, a little old man walked up to
the front of the line, and casually stepped in front of the
first man in line, a big, burly man who had been there since
6:00 am. The big guy wasn't about to let this old guy cut
in front of him, so he pushed the old man out of his way
with all of his might!
The little old man got up, dusted himself off, and walked
in front of the big burly man a second time.
Once again, he was pushed away by the big man, yet he
got up, dusted himself off again, and stepped between the
big, burly man and the door a third time!
This kept happening until finally, a policeman heard the
noise and rushed over to hear what the fight was about.
"Well," said the big burly man, "I was here at the front of
the line since early this morning, and this old man had the
nerve to just push in front of me to the head of the line!"
When asked to tell his side of the story, the little old man
replied, "What that man said is correct. I did push in front
of him several times, and if he keeps shoving me away,
I'm not going to open the store!"
