    Default The No-Sarcasm-Allowed, "What Do You Do For a Living?" thread

    I know it's a miniscule percentage of threads in here that aren't rife with sarcasm, but I am legitimately curious about this topic... occupation tells a lot about someone.

    So can we give it a go? Let's learn a little about our SBR brothers and sisters.

    Acceptable answers for this thread include, for instance,
    -I'm a software engineer at a design firm.
    -I'm a welder.
    -I'm a retired fireman.
    -I'm an admissions officer at a college.

    Unacceptable answers for this thread include:
    -I makes me some MONEY, yo.
    -Professional gambler
    -Full-time poster and whack-off champion
    -Gangster/Gangsta/Mafioso

    I'll start. I'm a presently unemployed copy editor/writer, mostly in advertising/marketing. I also did stand-up comedy for a while in my area (100% true), and my one claim to fame is that I made the final two in a comedy contest, which I lost to Dane Cook, he of major films with hot chicks. He is therefore now my nemesis. He was nice though, actually.

    I haven't worked in nearly 2 years. My unemployment will last a few more months, and by then my plants will be ready to harvest and I'll sell weed.

    PD, you play online poker "for a living"?? So you win so much that you fully support yourself, i.e., you afford rent, heat, electricity, car, cable, phone, etc.? Come on, Bro, we're not idiots. If you are a student and have few expenses, then fine, just say Student.

    I was a Six Sigma Black Belt until June of this year. Then my contract got cancelled and I got laid off. Since then, even though you don't want to hear it, I am trying to make a living with my gambling.

    Why be truthful if the truth bothers you?

    I work as a porn star then. Happy now?

    I manually masturbate caged animals for artificial insemination.

    It is important to have a job with meaning.

    And it pays pretty well too.

    I guess I can't tell you since it's unacceptable but it's the truth. I have plenty of money but you don't wanna hear it.

    I never said the truth was unacceptable! Write the truth, whatever it is. If it sounds legit to me, then good for you. If it sounds like total B.S., then it probably is.
