Hidden Motive: This phrase is said to have originated from Benjamin Franklin who told a story about a devious man who asked how a grinding wheel worked. He ended up walking away with his axe sharpened free of charge. Now doesn't that sound like our Clown Prince here in Chiang Mai, Thailand?
Thought that was Tom Sawyer whitewashing the fence.

Say Hey Brucie:
Did you ever see Tom Sawyer with any axes to grind like our Chiang Mai Clown Prince? C'mon now!
