"A Statesman who attended a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce rose to speak, but was objected to on the ground that he had nothing to do with commerce.
" 'Mr. Chairman,' said an Aged Member, rising, 'I conceive that the objection is not well taken; the gentleman's connection with commerce is close and intimate. He is a commodity.' " --Ambrose Bierce, Fantastic Fables.
