I guess I was the only one that saw the humour in it. There are some people we run across, usually at work, that are the center of attention because they have a certain charisma to them. It doesn't make them charming, but it does make them memorable, and when they get put in a leadership position, they usually make a shitty job less shitty.
P.S. Having been raised in the South <insert spooky banjo music here>, the midwest accent is pretty easy to understand
