It's a line from an old commercial that hyped some snake oil medicine -- an actor from a soap opera starts of claiming "I'm not an doctor, but I play one on TV." 'Course they then proceed to behave and talk as if they really are a doctor, expounding the benefits of their snake oil.

On more than a few occaisions, people here have wondered aloud if I am/was a travel agent, ticket agent, or some other travel industry employee. My little quip is to emphasize that while I might sound/look like it, like the actor, I am in fact non of these things. Perhaps I should have said "although I play one on FT."

Sorry for the OT explanation, but it seemed appropriate.
