Thanks goodness it was only a dream.  'Cause if it weren't, I would have 
told the first group that I wasn't being paid enough to be their 
slave...and that if they wanted to eat, they'd best get off of their 
"tooshies" and lend a hand.  So far as the second group was concerned, 
my query would have been, "Who died and left you to be god?"
