When I was a kid, my dad and I had a running joke. If anyone asked what he did for a living, I was to reply, Hes a sports mechanic. He fixes boxing matches and horse races. Once I answered a teacher this way. She flipped out and summoned my parents. Dad calmed her down by explaining it was a joke. So what do you do for a living? she asked. Dad, a sales representative for a large pharmaceutical company, said, I sell drugs.
