We would not have to worry about the inherent attractiveness of the upper class, or whether there is any benefit to the breeding that one achieves at some of our nation's finer preparatory schools. Because none of that would matter! We just need to make sure the Cat in the Hat gets the house cleaned up before mom gets home!

There really is nothing sadder than these retirees lost in a world that no longer exists, a world where high tea was served in firm library every afternoon and all the partners summered at cottages in the same quaint but exclusive little town. A world where they could pinch the secretaries because that is what they were for, and it wasn't an indiscretion because nothing they did to people of that class mattered. A world where no one laughed when a law student put their prep school on their resume.
PLF, if you're coming back from retirement, we need to put you to work. And I hope you realize, this means REAL work -- sweating out deals through the night in shabby hotel rooms, pushing those lazy associates to go the extra mile, ripping apart little Willard's workproduct, regardless of his relations.
