Day of stereotypes

Occupations...
Tell them...

you're dentist and they stop smiling at you [they don't want to show their teeth]
you're English teacher and they won't write you anymore [they're afraid of spelling]
you're lawyer and they start lying at you [about what they did]
you're doctor and they will find a disease they suffer from [to get free treatment]
you're stylist and everyone has their clothes in the laudrette that day [they lie]
you're bodybuilder and they pull their stomachs in [those pears and apples]
you're speech therapist and they avoid tricky words [they don't want to know...]
you're wine-tasting-prof. and they think you get drunk every day [an occupation indeed?]

And how to get there...

you're 20 and you won't get the job [you have no experience]
you're 30 and you can't take the job [you're having a baby]
you're 40 and you can't keep the job [they can't afford so many employees, they say]
you're 50 and you can't get the job [you're too old]
you're 60 and you can't leave the job [you don't have enough savings yet]
you're 70 and you will be the job [you have no other life anymore]
you're 80 and they will do your job [finally you're out]
you're 90 and they ask for a secret [how you've lived so long]
you're 100 and the media wants to know how you did it [100 years alive!]
you're 110 and they will hire you again for research [for genetic vitality]
you're 120 and you'll be a human for the first time since you were 10


I don't know why I wrote this. After all, it doesn't have too much to do with linguistics.
