YOU KNOW THE JOB

has lost prestige when:

Someone in Mumbai answers the phone.

The bank teller is not old enough to vote.

The company CFO is an English major.

Your drug dealer is your favorite aunt.

The pilot and copilot are both women.

Your representative in Congress formerly sold used cars.

The taxi driver was not born here.

The string section is predominately female.

The pool guy is paid in bananas.

The super is the landlord's ten year old son.

The governor has a parole officer.

Your anesthetist carries a hammer.

The President Elect is from Chicago.

Full scale War in Korea; we called it a Police Action
Police Action in Iraq; we call it a War.

An incoming US President who does not immediately resign his office after having received eyes-only briefings of what's really going on is hopelessly co-opted or delusional.
