I was thinking this morning, for reasons I really couldn't tell you, about this guy who used to sometimes work security for celebrities and stuff over there. He was big into martial arts, etc. It sounded interesting so I asked him about it and he said it was really boring. Like you're in a bad nightclub by the VIP section and you stand there in a suit with your arms folded in front of you. When things heat up (ie someone walks kind of by you) you move your arms out to the side.
I thought ah, yes, that is how I would expect a security person to appear in a club guarding a "celebrity."
I never liked wearing a tie but I realized it's about half the job. (why did I vote 80% in the poll? shut up.)
If I'm standing in front of people talking, I'm a fucking derelict! I'm some jackass who is capable of speech stood up in front of a group of people pursuing a vague notion of "English."
Tie? TEACHER.
Let me tell you further if I'm in a school where any kind of desk work is acceptable and the kids are ostensibly working on some kind of paper and I'm just stood at the front of the room? Even in a tie?
hmmmm... probably teacher.
Let's push this over the top and REALLY teach those kids some English.
I WALK AROUND THE ROOM.
BOOOOOM!!!!!
There is no doubt I am an English teacher. Look at me. Wearing a tie, looking down at a kid's paper who now thinks I'm paying attention and sort of starts to try while I mentally plan my grocery list.
It cannot be argued that if I wear a tie and walk around a room, I am an English Teacher. If I were to cross my wrists behind my back while walking -- I wouldn't dare. The entire room would immediately become fluent and I'd be out of a job.
