Nuriel asked: <<"Doctor, Lawyer, Indian Chief" (Fiction) -
Is this an expression? (I heard it also in the new Dylan album so being the non-american that i am i'm a bit confused :) >> the whole series is: "tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief, doctor, lawyer, indian chief" we used it, in elementary school, as a jump rope rhyme. the jump you "missed" on supposedly indicated the occupation of your spouse-to-be. cindy, who always "accidentally" missed on "indian chief." oh - incidentally - there was a cheesy series of books, "rich man, poor man," then "beggar man, thief," made into a miniseries in (i think) the 80's
