Vince - "You're gonna love my nuts!"
Moms - ok I can see that (although I'm sure my mother has been taking money out of my wallet)
Pharmacists - Doesn't everyone make sure that the medicine they GET is the one they were prescribed?
Come on, you've never counted your Vicodin to make sure they were all there?
Clergy - you get what you pray for.

This one got me looking Art. I found a Reader's Digest poll for 2008 for Australia. I can agree with the top ten, but some of the others? 'Religious Ministers' get in at 28, down with some that would only get a vote from me if I had to put a number on everything listed... You can see the high opinion we have of politicians here.

Chief, with all due respect, per your blogging rules, aren't you supposed to cite your sources??? :)

And per another of your blogging rules, you need to respond to this, because I took the time to read this, and respond!

I'm just sayin...please don't hurt me.

Last night I happened to be interviewing a young girl in the back of the ambulance after a minor crash. She was rather terse with her answers and allowed as to how she didn't trust strangers, no way no how. (Mom was sitting next to her.)

I said "What - you don't trust firemen?" Brows furrowed, she said "Ummmmmmm... well......"

Maybe I should have said fireFIGHTERs.

Rasmussen poll, according to Frank Luntz.
Sometime, when you have the time, I will explain the difference between a discussion thread and a blog.
Technically, that is.

Yes; Billy died.
Apparently, he was more interested in BUYING OxyContin than SELLING OxyClean.
That and the cocaine. Probably used a Slap Chop to cut it.
Billy broke my heart.

I thought #s 37 - 40 were just another name for politicians. Lawyers are a little higher on the list than I would put them.

Oh, my bad, I assumed it was the same set of rules for both. You should do a thread on threading rules too, the blog on blogging rules was a good read.

On a note to the original post, I am surprised that clergy have kept themselves in the top 5 over the years.
