A MAD MAN EDUCATE A PRESIDENT AND HIS ENTOURAGE A President of a particular Country, was travelling with a large convey of about 30 cars all filled with ministers and other high profile Government officials to one district capital to commission a multi-billion dollar project which was the topmost promise in his election campaign message. As usual, a day before the commissioning day, the state protocol officer and director of transport ensured that all vehicles are sent for servicing and thorough road worthy checks to be sure of safe and smooth travel. On the commissioning day all preparations were set for the president and his high profile officers for the journey. About 100 kilometres to the place of the commissioning, one of the back tyres on the driver side of the Presidential car removed causing the car to get grounded at a spot, near a mango tree just 50 metres, where an educated naked mad man abode. It was realised that the mechanics that worked on the President’s car forgot to tighten up the bolts and knots of that particular tyre firmly; all the knots got loose and fall off one after the other in the cause of the high speed driving. All efforts to get the right knots for the Presidential car proved futile after spending almost two hours in roaming with cars and helicopters in all major cities looking for that unique car knots. All the Scholars, Technocrats and high profile Ministers of State in the President’s entourage could not fish out any amicable solution to enable the President use his Presidential car to the Town, which was his first day of using that unique car. So the President finally decided to use one of the minister’s car to the durbar ground since time was far running out. As they were about to board their cars, the educated naked mad man shouted ‘Hey, you bunch of fools, let me come help you move your foolish President’s car ‘. On hearing that everybody except the President, rush towards the mad man to teacher him few lessons. Fortunately on his part the President intervened and order that no one should touch the man, but instead asked that the mad man be allow to come and tell them what to do. PRESIDENT ........ ‘My friend what is your name’? MAD MAN.......... ‘My name is COMMON SENSE’ PRESIDENT ........ ‘How can you help us move this car’? MAD MAN ........ ‘It is very simple, how many knots do you need to move the car’? PRESIDENT ....... ‘We need four knots to enable us move the car’ MAD MAN ....... ‘How many knots does each of the remaining tyre uses’? PRESIDENT ....... ‘ Each of the remaining three tyres has four knots each’ MAD MAN ....... ‘If you remove each knot from the three tyres, how many knots will you get’? PRESIDENT ....... ‘You will get three knots’ MAD MAN ....... ‘Then order your foolish men, to remove one knot each from each tyre and use them to fix the forth tyre on your foolish car, this will enable you drive to wherever you want go’. They did exactly that, and the President’s car was in good shape for the journey after almost four hours of fruitless thinking capacity of ‘SANE’ People. PRESIDENT ....... ‘What can I offer you, as my sigh of appreciation’? MAD MAN ....... ‘Give me a sheet of paper and pen to write my wish to you’. PRESIDENT ...... ‘Here you are with a sheet of paper and pen, you can now write down your wish’. MAD MAN ..... ‘He took the sheet of paper and wrote his wish and gave it to the President’. AND THIS WAS WHAT HE WROTE: ‘MY WISH IS TO TEACH AND EDUCATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU, THAT COMMON SENSE WHICH IS NOT COMMON TO COMMON PEOPLE IS NOT FOUND IN BOOKS’.
