I dealt with government and the public fairly often but not so much at the federal level. One of my favorite examples: I was on a public access cable show talking about how the project was going to be a temporary problem for traffic congestion and about the benefits of the project. We took a short break and came back for the final ten minutes which was to be a question and answer phase. The questions were to come from audience members or by phone. The audience was made up entirely of the meager production crew and an employee of mine. The host invited people to call in and ask Dr. KGIII questions. The very first one was a person with a strong regional accent and I don't remember the exact verbiage but they had a question about their irritable bowel syndrome - or wanted it diagnosed, something like that. I explained that I wasn't a medical doctor and the person on the phone responded with something like, "Well, you're a doctor, ain't you? You gotta know something!" I nearly peed myself laughing. I'll leave the region out of the story, I don't really want to reinforce stereotypes.
