Are you an auditor or prostitute?

Notice the similarities...
1. You work very odd hours.
2. You are paid a lot of money to keep your client happy.
3. You are paid well but your pimp gets most of the money.
4. You spend a majority of your time in a hotel room.
5. You charge by the hour but your time can be extended.
6. You are not proud of what you do.
7. Creating fantasies for your clients is rewarded.
8. It's difficult to have a family.
9. You have no job satisfaction.
10. If a client beats you up, the pimp just sends you to another client.
11. You are embarrassed to tell people what you do for a living.
12. People ask you, "What do you do?" and you can't explain it.
13. Your client pays for your hotel room plus your hourly rate..
14. Your client always wants to know how much you charge and what
they get for the money.
15. Your pimp drives nice cars like Mercedes or Jaguars.
16. Your pimp encourages drinking and you become addicted to drugs
to ease the pain of it all.
17. You know the pimp is charging more than you are worth but if
the client is foolish enough to pay it's not your problem.
18. When you leave to go see a client, you look great, but return
looking like hell (compare your appearance on Monday AM to Friday PM).
19. You are rated on your "performance" in an excruciating ordeal.
20. Even though you get paid the big bucks, it's the client who
walks away smiling.
21. The client always thinks your "cut" of your billing rate is
higher than it actually is, and in turn, expects miracles from you.
22. When you deduct your "take" from your billing rate, you
constantly wonder if you could get a better deal with another pimp.

That's really funny. It happens in the service industry....

George Berhard Shaw made the point far better than I (or anyone else!) ever could:

Some years ago, George Bernard Shaw and a middle-aged London socialite engaged in one of the most famous encounters in the battle of the sexes. Shaw asked the woman if she would sleep with him for a million pounds. She responded with an enthusiastic "yes!" Then Shaw playfully lowered the offer to one pound and sixpence. "Certainly not!" the woman huffed, "what do you think I am?" Shaw smiled and said, "We've already established that . . . now we're haggling about the price."
