What, no raconteurs or beauty pageant judges?

Sounds like they're all unemployed to me.

Hey, easy on those of us who are unemployed (and not by choice)

I guess I am a little overly sensitive to this.

training for an ironman is its own employement, unpaid, but definitly employed

They spend an awful lot of time talking to themselves. That Zig Zag Trick Swimmer in particular. I wonder how many extra miles s/he puts in per race?

My husband just made up business cards for himself and listed his occupation as "gentleman adventurer." I think that would be a good occupational listing for someone participating in an Ironman!

I told DH that the "gentleman" part of it was a stretch.

I think that's a cute title! I must try to think of something similar for myself. I usually introduce myself as a "professional volunteer" when I'm in that situation.

HEY!! I'm the zig zag trick swimmer!! ha ha
No joke. It's hard to swim in a straight line for 2.4 miles. Esp. when you are as slow as me...

My husband calls himself a Professional Whiner (aka attorney).
