I was thinking about this last night and came up with

A little off topic but I was listening to an ad on the radio for medical assisting and one of the perks was "get to work alongside doctors". Really? Not the doctors I work with.

I don't think working alongside doctors is a perk...after you've worked with enough mean ones..it sounds more like a downfall. I heard this one before "Doctors cure, Nurses care"
