"Just a Historian?"

"Just a Historian?"

In the profession of history, often times we encounter a few choice sayings that the general population has grown accustom to hurling our way.  Each and every time I heard one of these sayings, in school, I would get agitated.  Every time I hear the other, now, I get even more irritated.
