An infection of lawyers.  
A clown car of politicians.  
A drama of doctors.  
A pontificate of philosophers.  
A disinformation of reporters.  
A line of programmers.  
A reaction of chemists.  
A scrum of REALTORS ™.  
A congress of clowns.  
A deluge of plumbers.  
A smug of engineers.  
A grievance of HR reps.  
An Elmer of pastors.  
A grope of priests.  
A markup of retailers.  
A killjoy of editors.

That’s all for now.

Sir, I take offense at this. It should probably be one of the following:

A correctness of engineers  
A realism of engineers  
A clever hack of engineers

or, if you feel really giddy about the profession that has done more to better and extend human life than any other profession, 😉

A triumph of engineers.

😃

A structure of programmers  
A buzz of ag pilots  
A hoop of hula dancers  
A display of docents  
12 money lenders is a lock, making 11 a just-shy lock  
A buggery of priests  
A parcel of realtors  
A spell of wizards  
A squeal of pig farmers  
A Johnson of condom makers  
A curd of cheese makers  
An ascention of balloonists  
A scramble of quarterbacks
