Minions versus Sycophants!

I had a discussion with the wife about the difference between Minions and Sycophants. I had to explain to her that we see a lot of people with minions. You know the guy who owns a business or is a star or something and has someone who does all of their bidding. They are the ones who rush to do whatever the boss wants them to do. They never an independent thought they just are the sidekicks.

We used to do the taxes for a fancy French Restaurant where this was happening. The bigshot chef had a buddy who was his right hand man and did all of his dirty work all the time. He was the perfect minion.

Now sycophants are your basic ass-kissers who are always telling the star what they want to hear and how great they are. They are very tedious. You must know plenty of them in your life. You know the kid who sat in the front row and kissed the teachers ass.

You can be a minion without being a sycophant. But if you are a sycophant you are almost always a minion.

It is better to be neither. We don't want either at Trooper York. Just ball busters.
