Rudyard Kipling was being interviewed by a somewhat cynical reporter. “I understand that the money you make from your writings amounts to over one hundred dollars a word.”
Mr.Kipling responded with surprise. “Really, I had no idea.”
“Here’s a one hundred dollar bill,” the newspaperman retorted, “Give me one of your hundred dollar words.”
Kipling took the hundred dollar bill, quietly folded it up, said, “Thanks,” and walked away.
