THREE DAYS
During World War II General
MacArthur called in one of his Army Engineers and asked : "How long will it take
to throw a bridge across the river?" "Three days", the engineer told him.
"Good", snapped the General. "Have your draftsman make drawings right away".
Three days later the General sent for the engineer and asked how the bridge was
coming along. "It's all ready", reported the engineer. "You can send your troops
across right now if you don't have to wait for the plans. They ain't done
yet".
