OT: Service

For Canadians, just insert Canadian equivalents.


I became confused when I heard the word__"Service"


Internal Revenue_'Service'
U.S. Postal_'Service'
Telephone_'Service'
Cable TV_'Service'
Civil_'Service'
State, City, County & Public_'Service'
Customer_'Service'

This is not what I thought 'Service' meant.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them
said he had hired a bull to 'Service' a few cows.
It all came into focus. Now I understand
what all those agencies are doing **TO** us.

Straight out of "Grapes of Wrath." But of course, there's little new
