Take an economy - any economy - not the one you fly on but the state of a country. Their buying and selling - their humming and hawing (how exactly does one haw?) - their extravagance and their austerities.
If Economy was a sluggish person it could look up to Lance Armstrong as a role model - how to dope and get ahead - be number one. Who better to teach that than someone who knows the ins and outs so to speak?

Providing a very fine machined wooden toothpick in every packet of wooden chopsticks. The said chapsticks are simply set on the To Go counter of any food vendor/ convenience store wher...
There aren't too many of these around these days..the ones who might have been are refusing to retire from their professions, automatically ceasing to be (good) role models..
