Absolutely! What I really wanted to say was, "Excuse me, but I find 
myself inspired to recommend a change in your vocation to something 
which might involve the manufacture and/or provision of goods and/or 
services to/for some population which is desirous and/or requiring of 
same." But all I had time for was four or five words with most of the 
real bulldog type sales callers. Ergo, distillate of sentiment 
into: "Go get a real job!"
