Six witty stories

♡ Six witty stories

1. Daewon County

When Daewongun dropped a flying bird,
A scholar came to visit.

The scholar made a big bow, but Daewongun did not say anything with his eyes gently closed.

The embarrassed scholar bowed once more, thinking he had not seen his temple.

Then Daewongun shouted like a thunderbolt.

"You punk! Am I the invoice for bowing twice?"

Then the scholar answered.

"It's a temple I'm giving you for the first time because I came, and the second one I'm giving you was a temple that I'm going to go."

At the scholar's wit, Daewongun laughed and said that he had great spirit, leading the way.

2. Chairman Chung Ju-yung

This is when Chairman Chung Ju-yung runs a small factory.

There was an urgent message that a fire broke out at dawn, so I ran to the factory, but it was after the factory was already burned without a trace of blood and sweat.

When everyone was lowering their heads, what Chairman Chung said with a smile warmed the hearts of everyone who was frustrated.

"Huh, I was going to tear it down and rebuild it anyway, but that's good. Don't worry and work hard."

3. Hillary and Clinton

Hillary and Clinton were driving together when they stopped at a gas station to refuel.

But the man working at the gas station was Hillary's classmate.
Clinton, who saw this, says something.

"If you married him, you'd be the wife of a gas station employee by now."

Hillary then answered proudly.  

"No, he would have become president."  

4. Eisenhower

After Eisenhower stepped down as U.S. president, he was asked by reporters.

"What changes have you made since you stepped down as president, and what are the differences?"

Eisenhower, briefly pondering, replied.  

"Of course, there are so many people who beat me in golf matches."

5. Gandhi

An anecdote from when Indian "Gandi" attended college in England.

There was a professor named "Peters" who felt bad for Gandhi, a student from colonial India who did not bow to him.

One day, Gandhi sat down for lunch next to Professor Peters in the university cafeteria.

Professor Peters said with a swagger.
"Hey, I guess you don't know yet, but pigs and birds don't eat together."

Gandhi responded tactfully.

"Don't worry, professor!
I'll fly somewhere else."

The vengeful professor tried to pester Gandhi in the next exam, but when he got a near perfect score, he asked Gandhi a question.

"I was walking down the street and found a bag of money and wisdom. Which bag would you choose?"

Gandhi didn't make a big deal of an answer
"Of course it's money."

The professor was sarcastic as he kicked his tongue.
"Tut, if I were you, I would have chosen wisdom, not money."

Gandhi simply replied.
"Well, it's not for each one to choose what's lacking."

The almost hysterical professor returned Gandhi's test paper with 'TWIT' written on it.

Gandhi said to the professor.
"Professor, there is no score on my exam paper, only your signature."

6. Einstein

Einstein had no time to rest due to the huge lecture request with the theory of relativity.

One day, the driver
To Einstein
"The doctor is so busy and tired, but I've listened to the theory of relativity 30 times and almost recited it.
Next time, on behalf of the doctor
How about giving a lecture?"

The driver looks so much like Einstein, coincidentally.
We exchanged clothes.

The fake Einstein's lecture on the podium was excellent.
The words, the expressions, it was just like the real Einstein.
Maybe it did better than the real Einstein.

But there's a problem.
A professor asked a question about the theory.
My heart went down.

What surprised me was the real Einstein dressed as a driver rather than a fake.

But the fake Einstein wasn't embarrassed at all.
with a smile on one's face
"A simple question like that,"
My driver can also answer."

"Hey, man,
Please come up and explain it well."
