A new department store announced that it was going to
give out free TVs to the first 100 people who came to
the store on its Grand Opening Day.

The store was scheduled to open at 9:00 am, but people
were already camped out in front of the store by 4:00
am, determined to receive their free TV.

When it was almost 9:00 am, a little old man walked up
to the front of the line, and casually stepped in front
of the first man in line, a big, burly man who had been
there since 4:00. The big guy wasn't about to let this
old fellow cut in front of him, so he pushed the old
man out of his way with all of his might.

The little old man got up, dusted himself off, and
walked in front of the big burly man a second time.

Once again, he was pushed away by the big man, yet he
got up, dusted himself off again, and stepped between
the big, burly man and the door a third time.

This kept happening until finally a policeman reacted
to the commotion and rushed over to hear what the fight
was about.

"Well," said the big burly man, "I was here at the front
of the line since early this morning, and this old man
had the nerve to just push in front of me to the head
of the line!"

The police officer asked for the old man's side of the
story.

"What that man said is correct. I did push in front of
him several times, and if he keeps shoving me away, I'm
not going to open the store."
