How about...

If you find yourself compulsively levelling picture frames in restaurants
and department stores......ymbamp.

or

If your first thought is that a mime in the park is a collection manager
who has absentmindedly forgotten to remove their white cotton
gloves.....ymbamp.

Colleagues-

I've been asked to speak at a special party for museum professionals at AAM
this year in Boston.  I'm going to revive the piece I wrote years ago for
the conference in Atlanta, but want to update it with current ireverant
thoughts about our lives and careers.

If you have a funny or pointed observation about being a "museum
professional", would you please consider forwarding it to me off-list at
[log in to unmask]

A couple original ones were...

If you not only read the brochures at cultural travel destinations, but
actually KEEP them...you may be a museum professional!

If, one day, you find you've organized all the stuff in your basement
chronologically...you just might be a museum professional!

Obviously, my apologies to Jeff Foxworthy...

One suggestion...don't worry about trying to make it funny.  It may very
well be an observation about something in museums or having a job in
museums that you find odd or completely annoys you.  That's OK.

Thanks,

D. Neil Bremer
Executive Director
Elmhurst Art Museum
