The man tells me he has a real exciting job. “So, what do you do that excites you about your job?” He says, “splitting atoms using plastic cutlery.” I was dumb founded and speechless. After a minute or two, he asked me what I did for work. My reply, “cleaning up the bullshit people leave, as some do make a real mess, and it is an endless task.”
After that rather dull conversation, we parted ways.

Somebody has to do it. Otherwise, we’d be drowning in plastic cutlery. People who split atoms never clean up after themselves.
