Re. Government 'Service'...

 
 
I became confused when I heard the word 'service' often used with agencies and quasi-monopolies, and how the president is always glorifying 'public service'...

  • Internal Revenue Service
  • US Postal Service
  • Social services
  • Cable TV-internet service
  • Civil service
  • State, City, County & Public government service
  • Customer Service

Alas, none of them provide much of what I would call 'service'...

But today I overheard (overherd_?) a couple of farmers in a conversation
where one of them said he had hired a bull to 'service' his cows...
right then BAM, it all made sense!!!

I hope you are now as enlightened as I am-
