Thread Name: BS: The Working Man
Subject: BS: The Working Man
I often see singers, poets, politicians affectionately refer to "the working man".

A few country singers have asked "what ever happened to the working man". These singers-dudes often wear cowboy hats, drive pick up trucks in their music videos and wear blue jeans, one time "the working mans" workwear. They look like they are working at some sweaty job,. But, looks aren't always what they seem.

If you (are a man) have a job, and work, are you not a working man, regardless of what you do at your job? Those who sit all day working on a computer, or sit all day in a truck, a fork lift, a factory, or on a tractor, they are all working.

So, what's with that question, and the suggestion that unless you work in some traditional sweaty job, you aint working?
