If you backstab, be an acupuncturist.
If you cut others down, be a logger.
If you make up stories, be an author.

If you mess with minds, be a psychologist.
If you are twofaced, be a clown.
If you steal, be a tax collector.
If you exploit feelings, be a bartender.
If you kiss butt, be a salesperson.

If you play with hearts, be a doctor.
If you enjoy pain, be a dentist.
If you stretch truths, be a lawyer.
If you exploit trust, be a legislator.
