What job do you SAY you do?

[VJ]

A friend of mine, when he chats up a girl in a bar solves it like this:
- "So, what do you do for a living?"
- "I'm in IT"
(then you get the dreaded look)
- "I run 4 pronsites and make 10000 euro a month."
He says that you then see this doubtful look, before they realize he is joking... And then the subject moves on... :-)

My physician once asked me:
- "So you are in IT..."
- "Yes"
- "Don't you hate it when people say 'now that you are here, I have a problem...'?"
- "Sometimes, but it is not too bad"
- "Well, now that you are here, I have a problem..."

I thought Apple was the new Evil Empire.

True Chuck, but they do often say 'Ah, I've got this...", and "could you just...". Not gonna happen if you say you are a fluffer

Those people I tell that the programming I do is about their property taxes.
Believe me, that changes the subject

What.... after all those years of being the Evil Empire Monopoly we're off the hook....
