"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
Or police officer. First on scene. Or emergency med tech in an ambulance. Second on scene. Or ambulance driver. Gets to clean up all the 'spooge.'
One night I was on my way to Burger King but got a call to the scene of a crash and burn. My stomach rumbling from no food, I got out of the car to the smell of roast pork. My mouth began to water. Most cringe inducing moment of my life. Worst of all was my mind wanting barbecue sauce. Sometimes at cookouts I flash back to that night, and have to stay with the macaroni salad.
Two occupations you don't want to go into if stuff like that makes you wince: Emergency Room Doctor and Coroner....

Similar but different - around here, we have a nurse running for the coroner's job. Her campaign tag is "A nurse's touch"
Don't think it really matters, somehow.
