their position is front, mid or end.
Once a man called Alvin decided to rob a bank in Montgomery, Alabama. Alvin’s parent
had often told him that good manners were important. So Alvin went to the bank and
stood in line. He waited patiently. Soon it was his turn. He drammatically pulled out a
gun and threatened the cashier. She politely told him that he was in the wrong line and
should go to another counter. Alvin immediately went to the correct place and stood in
line again. Suddenly the police rushed in and arrested him. Alvin was amazed. They’d
