I heard this story on the radio this morning. The jockey said that its a true story, so perhaps it is.
Once, many decades back, a middle aged couple visited the Harvard University and requested to meet the President. They were dressed in gingham and came across as simple village folks. The President was in no mood to see them, so he had his secretary tell them hat he was too busy. They decided to wait till the President could spare a few moments. The couple waited all day. In the evening, the secretary urged her boss to see the couple.
