Using Job Skills in Real Life
A father goes to the market with his 10-year-old son. The kid's tossing a quarter into air and catching it between his teeth. Someone bumps the boy at the wrong moment and the coin goes into his mouth lodging in his throat. He starts choking, going blue in the face and Dad starts panicking, shouting and calling for help.
A middle-aged, fairly unremarkable man in a gray suit is sitting at a coffee bar in the market reading his paper and sipping coffee. He hears the commotion, puts his cup down, neatly folds his paper and places it on the counter. He gets up and slowly makes his way to the boy. Reaching him, the man takes hold of the kid and squeezes gently but firmly. After a few seconds the boy coughs up the quarter, which the man catches in his free hand.
The man then walks back to his seat without saying a word. As soon as he is sure that his son was fine, the father rushes over to the man and starts effusively thanking him. The man looks embarrassed and brushes off the thanks. As he's about to leave, the father asks one last question. "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before - it was fantastic - what are you, a surgeon or something like that?"
"No" the man replies, "I work for the IRS, getting people to cough it up is my business."
