    What a staggeringly breathtaking biography! Truly one worthy of inclusion to the Smithsonian Institute! John & Scott you have admirably outdone yourselves!

    (To JS/07 M 378/This Marble Monument/Is Erected by the State)/He was found by the Bureau of Statistics to be/One against whom there was no official complaint,/And all the reports on his conduct agree/That, in the modern sense of an old-fashioned word, he was a saint,/For in everything he did he served the Greater Community./Except for the War till the day he retired/He worked in a factory and never got fired,/But satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc./Yet he wasn’t a scab or odd in his views,/For his Union reports that he paid his dues,/(Our report on his Union shows it was sound)/And our Social Psychology workers found/That he was popular with his mates and liked a drink./The Press are convinced that he bought a paper every day/And that his reactions to advertisements were normal in every way./Policies taken out in his name prove that he was fully insured,/And his Health-card shows he was once in hospital but left it cured./Both Producers Research and High-Grade Living declare/He was fully sensible to the advantages of the Instalment Plan/And had everything necessary to the Modern Man,/A phonograph, a radio, a car and a frigidaire./Our researchers into Public Opinion are content/That he held the proper opinions for the time of year;/When there was peace, he was for peace: when there was war, he went./He was married and added five children to the population,/Which our Eugenist says was the right number for a parent of his generation./And our teachers report that he never interfered with their education./Was he free? Was he happy? The question is absurd:/Had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard.-“The Unkown Citizen,” 1940, W. H. Auden.

    Hey John, Scott, I know this is supposed to be funny but in fact I rather admire this man. He had a job at which he worked hard, had character (honesty), did what was required to get promotion and had a family. This used to be called good citizen. If the fact that he was not a red faced ideolog, an entitled and offended Karen, or a control freak means he won’t be remembered so be it. None of those other types will be remembered in 50 years either. Not complaining here guys, just saying.

    Speaking only for myself, I can’t remember any particular day of my career that I was especially proud of. But I do remember some good projects that I implemented (these generally took many months from conception to installation). All that said, I did enjoy the whole time. “Accomplishments” are many times not specific individual things.

    Being Cornamm W. Blunk VIII (the 8th) means that there were 7 (or VII) Cornamm W. Blunks before him! They could go back to before 1800!

    I am loving these Profiles in MMM History. Is it just you, Scott. Or is John putting in his wooden nickel?

    It does give one pause for thoughts on their own life. Another reason to read the comics
