I worked in a Chinese restaurant a family member owned. Can I be Secretary of State?

[pinto]

I doubt it. Not in a Democratic administration.

It was in the DC suburbs, though. Doesn't that lend my resume some gravitas?

:eyes:

[Cleita]

1. Hey, if you stayed in a Holiday Inn that should clinch the deal! nt

[BlooInBloo]

2. You were right next to embassies! And they're foreign soil! What experience!!!!

[pinto]

8. And I drove by the Pentagon *once a week*.

I was in the loop.

[BlooInBloo]

[Lost-in-FL]

4. That's great foreign affairs experience for the GOP. You might be considered...

for an ambassador post.

5. As someone who's had a croissant or two

I am eminently qualified to be ambassador to France.

Oh wine. I like wine. And cheese too.

And I know most of the words to Alouette... well a few of them actually.
Truth is the only word I'm really sure of is Alouette.
But still... that's a lot of experience right there.

[pinto]

11. Hey. You've got my vote. I'll put in a good word. Nix on the French talk though.

These are times that call on us all to forego diplomacy.

[Cerridwen]

13. I googled for the lyrics - thank you for the ear worm.

You're gonna hate the wiki. Ruined! Another childhood song. *sigh* You can kick me later. Right now I'm sharing my misery. LOL

20. Oh my goodness.. "I shall pluck you" !!!???

That's ghastly !!!!!! And I never knew. Ack !

Well fortunately there'll always be nice wholesome songs like "Ring Around the Rosie"

[Cerridwen]

22. Er, don't kill me, k?

"Ring Around the Rosie" was bubonic plague - maybe.

Plague interpretation

Many have associated the poem with the Great Plague of London in 1665, or with earlier outbreaks of bubonic plague in England. Interpreters of the rhyme before the second world war make no mention of this;<16> by 1951, however, it seems to have become well established as an explanation for the form of the rhyme that had become standard in Britain. Peter and Iona Opie remark<17>: ‘The invariable sneezing and falling down in modern English versions have given would-be origin finders the opportunity to say that the rhyme dates back to the Great Plague. A rosy rash, they allege, was a symptom of the plague, posies of herbs were carried as protection, sneezing was a final fatal symptom , and “all fall down” was exactly what happened.’<18> Variations of the same theory allow it to be applied to the American version of the rhyme and to medieval plagues.<19> In its various forms, the interpretation has entered into popular culture and has been used elsewhere to make oblique reference to the plague.<20> (For 'hidden meaning' in other nursery rhymes see Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary and Cock Robin.)

Tahiti, here I come, again!

:rofl:

[sandnsea]

24. I'll be Ambassador to Mexico

I've been to Tijuana and negotiated a deal on a leather purse and a sombrero for my little brother. So I've been on the PTA and have foreign policy experience. I'm definitely good to go.

[Critters2]

10. All of my ancestors until my dad were farmers. My dad designed farm machinery.

I think I'd make a great Secretary of Agriculture! God knows I'm qualified.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. You'd be overqualified if it was right next door to an Italian restaurant.

[TahitiNut]

15. Some Chinese restaurants serve more people in a year than live in all of Alaska.

:rofl:

[pinto]

17. LOL. Not ours. We had more of a Wasilla sized clientelle. And a deficit problem.

[snacker]

16. According to Republican standards...

you sound qualified to me! Wait, do you have any other very important considerations, like were you ever a point guard on a high school basketball team or anything?

[Journeyman]

18. Measured against the present SoS, you're overqualified. . .

[lonestarnot]

21. MMMMMmmmm mmm Sure sure sure.
