STAN IS WILLING¹ TO GO THE EXTRA MILE

1--You're the only person who knows what really
happened.
2--That's not quite true. Stan Bailey was there,too.
3--Oh. Was he there? I didn't know that.
2--Well, actually, he wasn't there all the time, but
still I think he saw enough to give some valuable
insight² on the matter.
1--Do you think I should call him? Would he be willing
to help?
2--No problem. You know Stan. He's the kind of
guy that's always willing to go the extra mile.
3--Hey. That's right. I remember one time when he
gave up two days of vacation just to help me out
with a problem I had.
1--That's good to know. I guess I'll give him a call
today, then.
