During the Christmas holiday shopping season, at the very busy fragrance counter in a large department store, in a large city in the usa, a young man ran frantically back and forth attempting to get the attention of one of the several clerks behind the counter. This certain young man happened to be the son of the mayor of the city. When he did manage a glance from a clerk, the clerks usually admonished him to wait his turn in line and would then turn their backs to him. Finally, he got in the face of one of the clerks and he indignantly shot at her, “Do you know who my father is?” And the clerk shot back, “No. Does your mother??”
