From qatsi. I've done this before, but the sentence concerned was just too good to pass up on.

Instructions:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

"The lack of career opportunities for sociologists and other social scientists during the 1980s, combined with a massive expansion in business and management teaching, resulted in many students with postgraduate training in sociology and related dsciplines being forced to find work outside sociology departments."

From: Against Management, by Martin Parker.

DARK!WILLOW: In my world, sociologists are born free but are everywhere in chains. And you can ride them like ponies.

Too unfit to be much use as a pony.

The urban legend about "sociologists in the sewers" arose because of the unwise practice of scooping up baby sociologists from the autumn woods. Urban denizens, beguiled by the shiny button eyes, take the little critters home as pets, and then flush them down the toilet as their vices, such as territorial marking, manifest themselves. (Many of these behaviors have been bred out in the sociologists specifically reared as pets, although ethical purchasers should beware of "TA Mills.")

Of course, nobody makes this mistake about lawyers.
