One Knock, Thousnad Dollars

One Knock, Thousand Dollars

Konijnenburg, director of the K.L.M. airways, during his inspiring lectures in 1951, once told about a machine that suddenly stopped. They tried a long time to repair it but in vain. They called for an expert. He examined awhile, then took a hammer, knocked on a certain part of the machine and it was running normal again. The bill was a thousand dollars.

“Would you specify this?” they asked.

“One dollar for the knock. Nine hundred and ninety nine dollars for knowing where to knock,” he answered.
