Sales, not management...

Today's Guardian reports a particularly snappy comeback on the part of Gene Robinson, when challenged by a fellow Hay festival goer to deal with the heavy rain:

The Bishop of New Hampshire, Gene Robinson, is waiting in line for a shuttle bus to the festival. The rain is pounding. The gorgeous, purple episcopal robes are whipping about like a flag in the breeze. "Can't you do something about this?" asks a fellow queuer, gesturing at the scowling skies. "I'm in sales, not management," bats back Robinson in a flash.

I like it. I think I'm going to give it a try next time someone tries to harangue me about bad weather...
