Two prime ministers sitting in a room, and suddenly the door bursts open,
and a man came in and he was extremely upset and shouting and carrying on.
The resident prime minister said, "Peter, Peter, please remember Rule #6."
And immediately Peter was restored to complete calm.
And a young woman came in. She was hysterical. Hair was flying all over the place.
Shouting and carrying on. He said, "Maria, please remember Rule #6!"
And immediately Maria said, "Oh, I'm so sorry," and she apologized and walked out.
And then it happened a third time. You know how it always happens a third time.
And the visiting prime minister said, "My dear colleague, I've seen three people
come into the room in a state of uncontrollable fury, and they walked out completely
calmly. Would you be willing to share this Rule #6, what that is?"
And he said, "Oh yes, Rule #6, very simple.:"
** Don't take yourself so damned seriously. **
And so he said, "Oh, that's a wonderful rule. What may I ask are the
other rules?"
And he says, "There aren't any."
