"Ir was this way, see? We was doin' a bit o' road repairs up Constitution Hill, an' one day, when we was sitting' rand the old teakettle, a woman comes running' aht o the Palace and says to me, 'I wonder,' she says, if you'd be so, good as to lend me a dust o" tea. We've come back unexpected like, and there isn't a bit in the ouse?
'Why,' I says, only too pleased, yer Majesty.' An' thats how I spoke to Queen Victoria, the old lady erselt" - 1
Great Thought Wuen a constable says that a motorist said, "It seems idiotic to prosecute me for a speed like that when there are aeroplanes everywhere doing 400 miles an hour," it is as obvious as a thing: for stubbing toes on in a dark bed room that no mean reply to that call has been made.
Here is an example of clear reasoning which may be applied in any emergency. Commit-it to memory.
"But, darling, how can you expect me to do without a new hat when there are aeroplanes everywhere doing 400 miles an hour?"
"I'm very sorry we have to cancel that order, but you must remember that there are aeroplanes everywhere doing 400 miles an hour."
And so on ad infinitum.
At last there is a Great Thought which is worthy of this magnificent civilization.
