I was at a party recently where circumstances forced me into small talk with another guest.<\/p>\n
?What do you do?? he asked me.<\/p>\n
I explained that I was a copywriter and wrote sales letters.<\/p>\n
He snorted: ?I never read junk mail,? he said, smirking.<\/p>\n
?And what do you do?? I asked politely.<\/p>\n
?I?m a chiropractor,? he replied.<\/p>\n
I snorted: ?I never go to chiropractors.?<\/p>\n
I almost added that I only go to doctors who actually graduated from medical school ? but I didn?t.<\/p>\n
Why is it that other people feel the need to put down total strangers ? and especially put down marketing?<\/p>\n
