Business is business
Winston Churchill was the Prime Minister of Britain during the Second
World War. One day Churchill was going to British Broadcasting Corporation to
make an important speech to the nation when a funny thing happened.
An hour before the time of his speech, Churchill stopped a taxi and told the driver to take him to the BBC. But the taxi driver didn’t recognize the Prime Minister and said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t take you there. I’m going home now because I want to hear Churchill’s speech on the radio.”
Churchill was very happy to hear that and he gave the man two pounds (a lot of money in those days). “All right, get in,” said the driver happily, opening the door of taxi. “Let’s go, and to hell with Churchill and his speech”.
