Humor for a Wednesday Karen Nadeski 15 Sep 1999 03:22 UTC

The sentence below appeared in the middle of a rather lengthy Boston
Sunday Globe ad for a sole librarian for an investment firm of 120+
people.

Now, how often do you get to assess whether to keep, file, route, or toss
invoices?  Would this be considered a valuable individual contribution?

(I know, I know, it's only poorly worded, however ...)
