At Least Try

Things were getting progressively worse in Chelm.  There was high unemployment and a lack of food.

The elders of Chelm decided to meet to solve their dilemma.  The best hope for them was to sell beer.  After a while they produced their first batch and sent it to Prague with the following letter:

O worthy brewmeisters:

Seeking to alleviate our plight, we have produced beer.  But we are unknown.  If such a famous brewer as you praised our drink, it would be a great help.

The Elders of Chelm


One week later came the reply from Prague:

"Your horse has diabetes."

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
