~Public Service~ (2nd time around)
(Plus: Today in History, Word for the Day and 6 Differences.)

At one time in my life, I thought I had a handle on the meaning of
the word "service." "It's the act of doing things for other people."
Then I heard these terms which reference the word SERVICE:

Internal Revenue Service

Postal Service

Telephone Service

Civil Service

City & County Public Service

Customer Service

Service Stations

Then I became confused about the word "service." This is not what I thought "service" meant. So today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to "service" a few of his cows. BAM! It all came into perspective. Now I understand what all those "service" agencies are doing to us. I hope you now are as enlightened as I am. ***
