The meaning of "SERVICE" - The Firearms Forum

USMCSpeedy · 07-02-2010, 12:48 PM

At one time in my life, I thought I had a handle on the meaning of the word "service."

"It's the act of doing things for other people."

Then I heard these terms which reference the word SERVICE:

Internal Revenue Service
Postal Service
Telephone Service
Civil Service
City & County Public Service
Customer Service
Service Stations

Then I became confused about the word "service." This is not what I thought "service" meant.

So today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to "service" a few of his cows. BAM! It all came into perspective. Now I understand what all those "service" agencies are doing to us.

I hope you now are as enlightened as I am.

Ditto for me too..............................whenever a service agency or customer service department has finished "servicing" me, I always ask them............."Do I get a kiss with that?"
