    Well, you have been promoted by Chasā€™ lucrative connections:
    Your resume is ideal match.
    Lets do a side by side comparison:
    From the boyhood stench of managing Goat Pens @ VFortā€™s Beane Field (mercifully the incessant Atlantic Easterlies are reliable ventilation for the parish)-
    To the potent aromatics of distilled spirits as you languished in the islands Cabarways-
    to the current position of paint thinners and shellac specialist- at Home Depot.
    NICE career ladder!
    The common consistent denominator in your career and curriculum vitae is
    šŸ™ STENCH šŸ™
    You are marinated / seasoned in it- to the bone !
    On a more duplicitous note,
    here in the US,
    IRS files label you as LOBBYIST for the Flambeau Political Action Committee (PAC)ā€¦.
    .for self serving tax purposesā€¦.OUI!
    Nice title if you can buy oneā€¦ā€¦nā€™est pas?
