How do you find the greatest common divisor?" Slowly the great orator took a glass of water. Then he pointed his finger straight at the questioner. Lightening flashed from his eyes, and he replied in a voice that made the gas jets quiver, ‘Advertise for it, you ignoramus!’’ The audience cheered and yelled and stamped, but the wretched man who had asked the question crawled out of the hall a total •wreck.
