Pulling Rank
The Senator of New Jersey is in a restaurant and the waiter brings over the rolls, but no butter.
"May I have some butter, please?"
The waiter gives a slight nod and wanders off.
Ten minutes later, still no butter. The politician catches the waiter's eye
"May I have some butter, Please?"
Still the vaguest of responses, and after ten more minutes, still no butter.
"Maybe you don't know who I am," says the Senator. "I'm a Princeton graduate, a Rhodes scholar, an All-American basketball player who played with the New York Knicks in the pros, and I'm currently a United States senator from New Jersey, chairman of the International Debt Subcommittee of the Senate Finance Committee, chairman of the Water and Power Subcommittee of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and a member of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee."
"Maybe you don't know who I am," said the waiter. "I'm the guy who's in charge of the butter".
