during world war ii, brigadier general theodore roosevelt, jr, was waiting at an airport for a plane. a sailor stepped to a ticket window and asked for a seat on the same plane, explaining, "i want to see my mother; i haven't much time."
the indifferent person at the ticket window was not impressed. "there's a war on, you know," she replied.
at this point roosevelt, who had overheard the conversation, stepped to the window and told her to give the sailor his seat. a friend said, "teddy, aren't you in a hurry, too."
