In another example of the declining influence of popular culture (which may not be all that of a bad thing), I had this conversation with an 18 year old girl who cut my hair today.

​

​

​

"Are you on your lunch break or did you have the day off to get your haircut?"​

"Oh, I have a flexible work schedule. I am clergy." 

"What's a clergy?" ​

"Clergy? It is a minister."​

"Oh. Cool. I read about clergy in my history books in school. With Rome and all that stuff. That is neat they are still around."​

​

Neat indeed. ​
