""Saya pikir kita akan memiliki tanaman kentang yang baik tahun ini," seorang editor surat kabar mengatakan kepada pengurus rumah tangganya suatu pagi. "Tidak ada yang seperti itu," tegas pengurus rumah. "Kurasa panennya akan buruk." Mengabaikan komentarnya, editor menyebabkan dimasukkan dalam koran malam perkiraannya tentang situasi panen. Malam itu ketika dia kembali ke rumah, dia menemukan pembantu rumah tangga menunggunya dengan senyum malu-malu di wajahnya dan salinan kertas di tangannya. "Aku salah," katanya meminta maaf. "Dikatakan di sini di koran bahwa panen akan sangat baik musim gugur ini.""

"I think we'll have a good potato crop this year," a newspaper editor told his housekeeper one morning. "No such thing," asserted the housekeeper. "I think the crop will be poor." Ignoring her remark, the editor caused to be inserted in the evening paper his estimate of the crop situation. That night when he returned home he found the housekeeper waiting for him with a sheepish grin on her face and a copy of the paper in her hand. "I was wrong," she said apologetically. "It says right here in the paper that the crop will be excellent this fall."
