Government employees don’t make a large salary
As graduate students entered Bill Hamilton’s office for a meeting he asked them if they
minded if he ate his lunch. They said that it was no problem. Bill went over to the
window and pulled a string up that had a pigeon attached to it which he proceeded to
pluck the feathers and dress the bird. He then remarked to the students, “We government
employees don’t make a large salary. We’ve got to get by with what we can.”
