Isn’t it great to be able to account for those who cannot account for themselves, very spiritually rewarding I’d say. But one cannot live on spiritual rewards alone.
My old mate Wally used to be a bus conductor in his younger days, Walter had two ticket machines, one for the company and one for himself, a very enterprising clippy chappy was he. Unfortunately the company caught up with him and he was drummed out, but he had a good innings, 15 years service and self service.
When asked his occupation he would proudly say “I conduct them wot cannot conduct themselves”
