Ha, I was in this very situation: <http://www.polkagris.nu/ar/aronline/ar_4.html>
At a table of four, someone mentioned, "It's great, I'm starting at <some six figure salary>."
Another piped up, "Really? Only <$$$>?"
Embarrassed, he explained, "Well, it's kinda my first job and I didn't want to ask too much..." The others shrugged and nodded affably. As life is just a series of amusements and small setbacks can always be corrected.
As they spoke, behind the kitchen doors, the Spanish-speaking dishwasher's face was half-paralyzed, since he hadn't been informed of a grease-cleaning chemical's known side effects in an earlier job.
