<p>&quot;The Modern Man&quot; by George Carlin:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I wear power ties,<br />I tell power lies,<br />I take power naps,<br />I run victory laps.<br />I’m a totally ongoing bigfoot slam dunk rainmaker with a proactive outreach.<br />A raging workaholic.<br />A working ragaholic.<br />Out of rehab,<br />And in denial.<br />I got a personal trainer,<br />A personal shopper,<br />A personal assistant,<br />And a personal agenda.<br />You can’t shut me up,<br />You can’t dumb me down.<br />‘Cause I’m tireless,<br />And I’m wireless.<br />I’m an alpha male on beta blockers.</p>
</blockquote>
