I thought I had a handle on the meaning of the word “service.”

“The act of doing things for other people.”

Then I heard the terms Internal Revenue Service, Postal Service, Telephone Service, Civil Service, Selective Service, City/County Public Service, Customer Service, Service Stations.

I became confused about the word “service.” This is not what I thought “service” meant. Then today, I overheard two farmers talking and one of them mentioned that he was having a bull over to “service” a few of his cows.

SHAZAM! It suddenly all came into clear perspective. Now I understand what all those “service” agencies are doing to us. —”v c”
