The other day, I was told something rather silly. It’s not the first time someone has “accused” me of this, and it won’t be the last, but I get amused every time I hear it.
“You are just trying to sell papers!” Usually I’m told that in some sort of accusatory tone.
Guilty as charged. It is sort of like telling McDonald’s, “You are just trying to sell Big Macs!”
We aren’t trying to sell papers; we do sell papers. Thousands of them every single day. It is my job.
I’m waiting for the next accusation. “You just want to sell digital subscriptions!”
Guilty again.
