Job descriptions are funny too. This from the late Simon Hoggart.

Job specifications for a post at Brighton Aldridge Community Academy.

It's full of the usual overblown jargon, "be consistent in the delivery of all the academy's policies and practice"; "model the entrepreneurial traits of having a determination to succeed …"; and "keep a high profile and be visible and pro-active".

The clue comes way down the document under requirements: "ability to undertake necessary tasks of an unpleasant nature", Yes, all this is asked of the toilet cleaner, or "hygiene assistant", salary £12,787 a year!

my job title has seven words and two parts.
It can be better summed up in the description under my user name
