Ah, the days of youth that we all still long for... or something. So, the two people from my high school class whose world ended when high school did, have gotten together to try to get the "gang" back together. My wife and I sold a car, and we were able to afford the trip out to a little place I like to call Hell On Earth, to sit down, have dinner, and possibly dance with a bunch of folks who will likely look at me, green with envy as to my situation. Not only did I marry the hot girl, but I'm just as good looking now, as I was back then.
I thought it could be fun to play with their minds a bit, and go the fib route, as opposed to reality. I mean, a lie is so much more exciting. So I'm looking for suggestions of career's that yours truly can tell of when asked the inevitable: "So, Noah, what do you do?" Something that will shock/surprise/disgust or create a sense of strong disbelief will do just fine. What cha got?

Try these out:
-A spy
-A hitman
-Country DJ
-Dumpster Seller
-Corporate Art Purchaser
-An inventor of stuff
-Futon dealer
Those are just a few off the top of my head.

War driving mad hacker. If they have to ask what that is, tell them it is too complicated to explain, but that you are a bit of an entreprenuere. Are there enough e's in that word?

just say you're a consultant. nobody knows what the heck those people do. but man, they sound like they make alot of money!
OR tell them you are a bounty hunter. that's tough.
OR just say you don't have a job. you don't have to work. upon marrying your wife you were bestowed upon a large dowry which just allows you to travel the united states and/or world contstantly. and golf all day.
I kind of like the inventor route though. Say you invented perscription windshields for cars so that people who have bad eyes can see perfectly fine while driving. and you sold the idea for 20 million bucks.

hink: That might get Noah killed. And then where would we be? No more fudge left to give out. And no more futon. Futon, that would suck.

Man, that would suck.

I just got it. Hit me like an epiphanic diesel train.
Tell them that you've made millions portraying the Bunch o' Grapes in those Fruit of the Loom commercials. Then, of course, tell them that you met Michael Jordan on the set, and have subsequently been called upon to act as his consiglieré in all matters golf, gambling, and the acquisition of strange.
Oh wait. He did the Hanes commercials. Shit. Forget I even typed all that.
Just tell them that you're loaded like Monty Burns and you enjoy distributing fudge.
