Not sure what civil servants look like. FBI agents, food inspectors, border guards, customs inspectors, civil engineers, microbiologists, secret service agents, geologists, etc all have different looks. By the way, what do you look like? Please post a pic of yourself so we can determine if you look like a civil servant.

Interesting. Geologists have a different 'look' than microbiologists? Can you post pics?

At least you can tell they are NOT state workers for California because that job would require 15 to 20 of them (even with furloughs in place)
A father walks into the market followed by his ten-year-old son. The kid is spinning a 25 cent piece in the air and catching it between his teeth.
As they walk through the market someone bumps into the boy at just the wrong moment and the coin goes straight into his mouth and lodges in his throat. He immediately starts choking and going blue in the face and his Dad starts panicking, shouting and screaming for help.
A middle-aged, fairly unnoticeable man in a gray suit is sitting at a coffee bar in the market reading his newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee.
At the sound of the commotion he looks up, puts his coffee cup down on the saucer, neatly folds his newspaper and places it on the counter. He gets up from his seat and makes his unhurried way across the market.
Reaching the boy (who is still standing, but only just) the man carefully takes hold of the kid's gonads and squeezes gently but firmly.
After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the quarter, which the man catches in his free hand.
Releasing the boy, the man hands the coin to the father and walks back to his seat in the coffee bar without even so much as a look back.
As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no lasting ill effects, the father rushes over to the man and starts effusively thanking him.
The man looks embarrassed and brushes off the father's thanks.
As he's about to leave, the father asks one last question: "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before - it was fantastic - what are you, a surgeon or something like that?"
"Oh, good heavens no" the man replies, "I work for the IRS"

I still chuckled though...
The bank 'joke' that ends "It's a knick knack Patty Wack, give the dog a loan" comes to mind. Dagnabit.

Always a classic.
