here are my (un)qualifications

When driving home today, I listened briefly to a replaying of a Supreme Court case from 1996. The hapless lawyer making his case had just about had enough, and the justices were barraging him with questions he couldn't answer. I felt bad for the guy. It wasn't his fault that his client didn't have a case.

It caused me to think though, "I could never do this job. Well, at least not any time soon." I kind of pride myself on being a fairly talented person, but, in a public display of humility, I will list the top 10 jobs I am most unqualified for. They are as follows:

1. African Braid Specialist
2. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Instructor
3. Skywriter (i.e. plane w/smoke)
4. Supreme Court Justice
5. Fashion Consultant
6. Professional Beekeeper
7. Riverdance Enthusiast
8. Horse Jockey (sorry Barbaro)
9. WWF Personality
10. Terrorist

I don't know. I do recall some striped knee-socks with sandals and shorts and have heard something about large red pants... I even think I've seen you in a very flattering green dress.

fashion might be your thing.

I think you could definitely be a WWF personality! You could even wear those large red pants with the little "Barney" t-shirt. You'd just need to name your persona. Plus you'd need to change your vocabulary. (Just watch a lot of cable television...you'll find plenty of words to use.)
