ONE MORE WORD
A young soldier, serving overseas, was writing a letter to his fiancee. He had written only a few lines when he decided to express his great love for her more emphatically. “I’ll send her a telegram,” he told himself. He dashed to the telegraph office, completed a message form and handed it to the clerk. It read, “I love you, I love you, I love you. — Bill.” “You can add one more word for the same price,” the clerk noted. The soldier scratched his head, puzzled a bit over the telegram, wrote something on the form and handed it back to the clerk. The message now read, “I love you, I love you, I love you. Regards — Bill.”
