An important businessman was asked to give a twenty-minute speech in another city. He was too busy to write it himself, so he asked his secretary to put one together for him out of a large book of speeches which she had on her desk. She typed one out for him, and he picked it up just in time to rush off to his plane. But when he gave his speech, it ran on for an hour, and the audience was getting very restless and bored by the end of it.
When the businessman got back to his office, he complained to his secretary about this. "I told you it was supposed to be a twenty-minute speech!" he said to her bitterly.
"That's what I gave you," she answered, "the original and two copies. The original for you to read at the meeting, and two copies for the files, after you had checked them."
