DOK's tale about Upper Management Training reminded me of a traveling salesman who stopped in a small town in Montana for a cool drink one day. He had seen an old Indian laying on the bench asleep in front of the bar when he came in and he asked the bartender, "What's that dumb old Indian doing out there?" The bartender told the stranger not to call him a "dumb old Indian". "He's the smartest Indian in the world. He never forgets anything."
Well, the salesman wanted to have some fun, so he went out and woke up the Indian and asked him, "I hear you never forget anything. What did you have for breakfast on May 23, 1953?" To which the Indian replied, "Eggs."
The salesman was not impressed. He probably always has eggs for breakfast.
Several years later the salesman was passing thru the same town and again he decided to stop at the bar for something to drink. He noticed the same old Indian asleep on the same bench and decided to have some fun with him again. He put his hand in the air as an Indian greeting and mockingly said, "How". To which the Indian replied, "Scrambled."
