Default Brigadier General Olds

Time for a little (somewhat related) humor -

Years ago I worked for a company that had an interdepartment baseball
league. One Spring it came time to round up the usual suspects to form the
teams, so forms were made available for people to sign up to play. Our
Engineering Dept had recently hired a new VP, who was a pretty decent ball
player. So he signed up.

He put down his name, address, telephone number, etc.
And when he came to the line that was supposed to find out whether he wanted
to play first base, shortstop, left field, etc., it said POSITION?

And he wrote - Vice President of Engineering.

He never lived that down, not that he ever knew it of course!

Some people think of themselves primarily in terms of a title, I guess.
