“G” For Gossip

R. G. LeTourneau was for many years an outstanding Christian businessman—heading a company which manufactured large earthmoving equipment.

The man, who was pretty quick on the trigger, immediately replied, ‘I’ll tell you. The “G” stands for gossip because like a talebearer this machine moves a lot of dirt and moves it fast!’ ”
