The CNN headline said...

"Killer Whale Shows Resume"
Which in my haste, and accustomed to seeing the accent left off the last "e," I misread to mean something like this:

Tilikum K.W. Orca
M.B.A Cetacean University
Seeking a management-level position in the entertainment industry or human resources management.

Employment 1991-present:  Sea World, Orlando, FL
Job Title: Shamu
Responsibilities include stud service, fish disposal, audience amusement, sudden murderous rages.
Conduct record spotless (see attached footnotes)

But now I see they mean "shows" as a noun, not a verb.  *sigh* I must need more caffeine.  Or less.

But no mission statement or description of his personal brand? I expect more of the woman who introduced me to the guidelines for a sleeping cat on the AT&T logo document.

Ladies, look at your whale. Now look at me.
