[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 148122, member: 1246"] Mark Twain The best illustration of the value of brief speech reckoned in dollars was given by Mark Twain. His story was that when he had listened for five minutes to the preacher telling of the heathen, he wept, and was going to contribute fifty dollars. After ten minutes more of the sermon, he reduced the amount of his prospective contribution to twenty-five dollars. After half an hour more of eloquence, he cut the sum to five dollars. When the plate was passed at the end of an hour of oratory, he stole two dollars [/QUOTE]
