Sam had worked 30 years for the same company and now he had to retire. As a sign of gratitude, the company held a dinner in his honor. "Sam" announced his boss, "It is my great honour to present this gift to you on behalf of the company." Sam walked down to the front of the table and accepted the gift with pride.
