Joe Louis<\/b><\/p>\n
Joe Louis was the world heavyweight boxing champion from 1937 until he retired in 1949. In 1946 Louis prepared to defend his title against a skilled fighter named Billy Conn. Louis was warned to watch out for Conn\u2019s great speed and his tactic of darting in to attack and then moving quickly out of his opponent\u2019s range. In a famous display of confidence, Louis replied, \u201cHe can run, but he can\u2019t hide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Telemarketer<\/b><\/p>\n
A telemarketer called a home one day, and a small voice whispered, \u201cHello?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHello! What\u2019s your name?\u201d<\/p>\n
Still whispering, the voice said, \u201cJimmy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow old are you, Jimmy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m four.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood, Is your mother home?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, but she\u2019s busy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, is your father home?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s busy too.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI see, who else is there?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThe police? May I speak with one of them?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re busy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAny other grown-ups there?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe firemen.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMay I speak with a fireman, please?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re all busy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJimmy, all those people in your house, and I can\u2019t talk with any of them? What are they doing?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLooking for me,\u201d whispered Jimmy.<\/p>\n
