In my hall all the elderberries wives are elderettes; most of these parasites hold their positions because THEY pushed their husbands to "reach out" and made sure they were reaching in the direction of an elite elders position.
None of the elderetees in my conned-green-nation are pius-sneers, and usually never auxiliary either. They don't work or have children (all out of the house) and yet can't be bothered to do any further service then the token Saturday sprint with their husbands to keep up appearances; nope, these vermin don't do anything extra unless it involves mounds of attention and praise.
