I know y'all can be really funny. I had a dream last night that I was on D Ltrman (shouldn't have eaten before bed) and he had "Top 10 Ways You Know You're a Provider". Thought I'd share the ones I remember from my dream, plus a few I thought of this morning or found in an old email on a similar topic.
Please be nice. I don't want to start a thread that trashes providers or hobbyists so I'm trusting you to be nice if you add any to the list. I'm not really a "funny" person so I know y'all can come up with some good ones. None of mine are intended to be mean, so I hope no one takes offense.

...you can suck start a Harley
...when you hear the word "cowboy" you think of the position not a profession.
