In one mountain village there lived a man known for never arguing with anyone. And then a correspondent came to him to write about him in the Guinness Book of Records. And the following conversation took place between them:
- Tell me, is it true that you have lived for more than 90 years and never argued with anyone?
- Yes, it's true.
- Well, not with anyone at all, not with anyone?
- Not with anyone at all, not with anyone!
- And what, even with your own wife?
- Even with my wife.
- Even with your children?
- Even with children.
- And what, in 90 years, not a single time?
- Not once.
- Never, never with anyone, with anyone? — the correspondent continued, already heating up.
“Well, yes,” the old man answered calmly.
Correspondent (blushing and irritated):
“It cannot be that you have never argued with anyone in your entire life!”
“I argued, I argued, I argued...” the old man answered conciliatoryly.
