Me (to a National Geographic cartographer): You have a Reading Rainbow job, but for real!
Cartographer: What?
Me: Remember that episode of Reading Rainbow where the lady flew around in a helicopter hand-drawing shaky maps, and then she printed them out in her garage and held them up and said, "I'm a cartographer," and every kid in America was like, "THAT'S A JOB?"
Cartographer: No, I don't remember that one.
Me: Well, you actually have that job.
Cartographer: I'd never thought about it that way.
