People That I Respect
You want to know about people that I respect? Wow, where to begin.
Well, let’s get the obvious out of the way first: obviously, the milkman is at the top of my list of people that I respect. I mean, where would we be without him? Not drinking cool, delicious, healthy milk, that’s for sure! We’d probably all be sitting around all day trying to drink paper towels or pieces of lint that we found in our bellybuttons or something like that. Who knows, but it wouldn’t be a world that I’d want to live in.
So, yeah, milkman is definitely up there at number one.
Number two on my list of people that I respect would have to be Mr. Jones from the Counting Crows song of the same name. He always wishes he was someone just a little more funky, but he never wishes that he was someone just a little more respected. And that’s just a sign that he is totally one of the most respected people in the known universe, and so he doesn’t have to wish for any more. Everyone knows that he’s #2 in my book.
The number three spot is currently open. It’s seen an almost never-ending parade of people march through it, everyone from Carrot Top to Pauly Shore. But none of them ever last more than 24 hours in that third slot, and today, once again, it is open for new applicants. If you know someone who you think should become the person I respect third most, please let me know. List their qualifications, measurements, favorite flavor of apple, etc. All the relevant things that you would want to know about someone when you tried to decide where they fit in on your own list of people that you respect.
If I get a solid applicant in third and he/she sticks around for a little while, I’ll post an updated list. For now, this list, though not the most satisfyingly complete list that’s ever been listed, will have to do the trick. Good night and good luck peeling back the layers of debris and lies to get to the soft, respectable core of goodness inside your applicants.
