Philosophy

Sometimes when clients are starting to get angry at work, I take them for a tour of the hospital, a short walk to calm them down. The other day I was walking an 11-year-old boy around, pointing out the various sites: "There's the lobby... the elevators... the mail room... oh, and there's the doctor's lounge."

"What's that?" he asked.

"The special room where doctors get to go and take a short break during the day."

Then he asked a deeply insightful, probing philosophical question - one that speaks to the very nature of our society: "Where is the janitor's lounge?"
