Perspectives

Two candidates for political office inadvertently scheduled simultaneous
campaign rallies in the same park of a small New England town.

After a lengthy round of speeches, the candidates worked their way through
the crowd -- shaking hands, kissing babies and beaming mightily. Suddenly,
the skies opened and it began to rain.

One of the candidates fled to take shelter in a nearby restaurant along with
half a dozen regulars. The other candidate, however, continued to move
through the crowd -- shaking hands, kissing babies, etc.

"That man's persistence," observed one of the natives, "sure makes it easy
to know who to vote for."

"Yep," another native agreed.

"Sure can't see myself casting a vote for a man who hasn't the good sense to
come in out of the rain."

- It's no wonder the world is the way it is when people's perspective on the
same events can be so different.
