Today's quote is from _The New Yorker_. The article profiles the famous
black gospel group the Southernaires, who are lucky enough to have their
own tour bus:

Sometimes the bus becomes a source of problems...  One night, in the
middle of Ohio, a tire blew out and they ran out of gas at the same
moment. A farmer heard the commotion and came out of his house, then went
into his barn, found a tire that fitted the wheel, filled a can of gas,
jacked up the bus, replaced the tire, filled the gas tank, pulled them
back onto the road with his tractor, and then showed them his Ku Klux Klan
membership card and asked them to be on their way.

[After much thought, the Quote for the Day discussion group topic
committee has decided on: "Are people basically evil creatures who
struggle to do good, or is it the other way around?"]
