The Man and the Lightning

A MAN Running for Office was overtaken by Lightning.

"You see," said the Lightning, as it crept past him inch by inch, "I can travel considerably faster than you."

"Yes," the Man Running for Office replied, "but think how much longer I keep going!"

		I was never ruined but twice; once when I lost a lawsuit and once when I won one. Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire
