This is the funniest post/response I've EVER seen on this site - including the infamous juggalo steve thread. 

Oh, and to answer the original question, I am a Sommelier.

Thats the funniest post you've ever seen? All he did was take an open ended prompt and insert the first bad guys in the news he could think of. Sheesh.

Closer to the former....I am a member of one of the most reviled occupations of the world....public school teacher.

I had a waitress tell me last summer, that I should be ashamed of myself every time I cash my pay check.

I also had a guy who owns a 7,000 square feet house tell me he was embarrassed for me and that the greedy teacher union was worse than the stock market traders he works with.

I hope you told 'em both what they could do with their opinions TJ.  Yours is one of the noblest, most valuable, and least appreciated professions in the country.

Well said.

I won't succombe to your plug for sympathy getting, because I don't feel sorry for school teachers' wages or the job conditions in general. Having said that though, its a very important job and if you are the type that takes teaching kids personally and does so with care, then thank you and keep up the good work. Kids spend a lot of time with you and tend to carry life lessons and memories from their teachers all of their days. So ignore the nay-sayers and try not to whine.

That's hilarious.  I'd like to hear the full story behind this. 

Funny that Wall Street rapes the taxpayers on a mind-goggling scale, yet it's the public school teachers who are the greedy villains who need to be put in their place.

TJ, hope you left her a nice tip...
