During one heated session a smart alec student stood up and asked the great man how important was it to heed all the advice that was being spewed out in class.
Bigot was incensed . There he was giving out pearls of wisdom and wonderful tips on how to play winning bridge , only for this egit to dare question the value and worth of his teaching.
" Listen you muttonhead .....never ignore good advice. So please pay attention to the story I'm about to tell you........ and try to grasp the message it carries.......
It was a burning hot day and a local businessman had stopped to fix his broken-down car on remote stretch of road high up on the moors , when a man approached him begging for a drink of water...............with deep regret the businessman said he had no water to give him, but would he like to buy his tie for £5......immediately, the thirsty man snapped back telling him what an idiot he was...... it was water he had asked for..... and not a naff second-hand tie. The businessman was then asked if there was any place nearby where water could be purchased...... and to his great relief he was told that 2 miles further up the road was a privately run Country Club but that.........
Abrupt to the point of being rude the dying man had sped off in pursuit of a drink even before the sentence had been completed. Two hours later when the makeshift repairs on his car had been done, but who should be staggering back down the road towards him was the very same thirsty man..... looking in far worse shape than he was before.......hardly able to speak , he eventually managed to whisper the following words ....why on earth did you send me to that unforgiving place.....that stubborn doorman brother of yours wouldn't let me in without a bloody tie !! ..............
I DO HOPE THIS STORY ANSWERS YOUR STUPID QUESTION "
