I won't breach the subject of conductors being a necessary evil, but
I will pass on the following joke I caught elsewhere, though I'm sure
it's familiar to many:
A judge, a bishop, and a conductor were discussing their careers, and
got into an argument about which of them was the greatest.
The judge said, "When I step into the courtroom, everyone stands to
pay me respect."
The bishop said, "They stand? I have people kneel before me and kiss
my ring."
To which the conductor replied, "Ha! I got you both beat. When I
step on the podium people look down, cover their eyes, and say 'Oh my
God!'"
