We're ad people, not a bunch of Mother Teresas.

Advertising folk fare pretty poorly in the "honesty and trustworthy" stakes in this recent Gallup survey. The good news is that car salesmen, stockbrokers, and politicians like Joe "You Lie" Wilson fared even worse. Coincidentally, these were the jobs I thought about before advertising.

Nurses were considered the most honest, which cuts me the wrong way, if only because a nurse once tried to murder my mother in hospital. That's right, in the hospital!

My question is, what about the respondents? How trustworthy are they? How many of these pollees have cheated on their partners? Cheated on their taxes? Embellished their resumes? Embellished their numbers of sexual conquests? How many told friends they "didn't look fat in those jeans", contrary to the evidence. A sizable percentage, I would surmise.

IN THE FREAKING HOSPITAL!!!!!
