From the opening paragraph, "If you tell it to them once they think it is marvelous. when you tell it to them again they say, 'We heard that before somewhere. Where do you suppose he got that from?' If you tell it to them a third tie they are bored to death and they won't listen to it. It may be truer every time. But they get tired of hearing it." See Hanneman C238.. Magazine.
