snowyday Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Peppery Fiorello H. LaGuardia, three-time Mayor of New York, was known for his quick temper, just as quickly forgotten. Once he ordered two city officials to hand in their resignations by the following morning. The officials, both of whom were honest and competent did not comply with his demand. They waited at their desks for the retribution they were sure would follow. But nothing happened that day or the next. Finally, after six months, they heard from him again, when he informed them that they had been promoted. * * * * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
