Among my possessions

The publishers of HK magazine are advertising for a new editor for their other publication, The List. Among the stated requirements is this:
"The applicant should possess a university graduate".

I didn't know slavery was still legal in Hong Kong - but at least our slaves are well educated.

And this from a man who makes a point of using "whence" rather than "where" in his latest post...

That's wonderful. Almost better is the fact that for the editor they are looking for someone with one year's experience in journalism. Surprised they didn't list "must have own pencil" as a req.

Mea culpa.
