Titolo: Language: de-bunking; humorous possibilities.

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow
that:
    electricians can be delighted,
    musicians denoted,
    cowboys deranged,
    models deposed
    and dry cleaners depressed?
Laundry workers could decrease, eventually becoming depressed and
depleted.
Even more, bed makers will be debunked,
    baseball players will be debased,
    landscapers will be deflowered,
    bulldozer operators will be degraded,
    organ donors will be delivered,
    software engineers will be detested,
    and even musical composers will eventually decompose.
On a more positive note though, perhaps we can
hope politicians will be devoted.
 
I remain, as always, ecc.,

No, as I'm sure you're well aware, "member" also means "limb".

Another profession is usually considered to be the oldest, but I suppose there
isn't a lot of difference when you think about it.

Power without responsibility -- the prerogative of the harlot through the ages
(Stanley Baldwin, on newspaper proprietors).

(Stanley Baldwin, on newspaper proprietors).
To motivate my post, a little help for the beginners (I confess I had to
look up in my dictionary for the word). Here's my cut and pasted effort:
WORD HISTORY: Harlot is first recorded in English in a work written around
the beginning of the 13th century, meaning “a man of no fixed occupation,
vagabond, beggar,” also the first main sense of the word herlot, which we
borrowed from Old French. The recorded history of a word is sometimes all we
need to scotch conjectures as to its ultimate origins. William Lambarde, in
a 1570-1576 work, suggested that the word harlot came from the name of
Arletta, or “Harlothe,” William the Conqueror's mother. As we have seen,
Lambarde was unnecessarily besmirching her, for the history of harlot makes
clear that “prostitute” was not its first sense. In fact, the word came to
mean “male lecher” before it meant “prostitute,” but by the time Lambarde
wrote, “prostitute” must have been thought to have been the main sense of
the word, hence his etymology.

Well, ehm, thank you so much, but I believe you should be made aware that I
did NOT write the above questions. :-)
