THE ONE HE WANTED



A businessman once wanted somebody to fill a most important position, one of great responsibility, so he advertised & got a large number of applications. From these he picked 20 men & asked them to be at a certain place on a certain day.

On that day he went & found the 20 men there. "Well, men," he said, "before we get on with the business, I think we may as well have a little drink. Come on," and he set off toward a licensed hotel nearby.

The men quickly followed, all except one who lagged behind. "Hurry up! Aren't you coming for a drink?" the employer shouted.

"No thanks," said the man, "I'm a total abstainer."

"Good for you," said the employer, "you're the man I want for this job!" and he turned & left the other men all tremendously surprised & disappointed.

“He that is a drunkard is qualified for all vice.” -  Francis Quarles.
