the specialist

There was a movie several years back called The Specialist. It was a Stallone movie, and I think Sharon Stone was in it, and it was about an assassin who was really good at killing people. In the NFL, teams hire specialists. You get a guy because he's a pass rush specialist, or a run stuffing specialist, or a long snapping specialist. Being a specialist means you're really good at that one thing, and sometimes you can make a living at it. Doctors come in specialists, because you have to be really good at brain surgery, or toenail clipping, or whatever it is you do.

Last night there was a plane crash in the vicinity of NAS Jacksonville. An S-3 crashed and tragically, the pilots died and it was all over the news. In the aftermath, one of the local news programs is interviewing this guy and he's playing with toy plane models, and on the bottom of the screen, it shows his name and his title, which read..."Crash Specialist"

I'm thinking, of all the things to be good at, why would anyone pick that? This guy must be pretty good at it, because he's living to tell about it, and on T.V. no less. Two people I don't want to be in this world are this guy, and his insurance agent.
