What do you do for a living?

[Dogg Thang]

I can't believe everybody is being so honest!

I know. I was actually going to just post a funny one early on and then I realised I'd just be ruining the thread.

Also I couldn't think of anything funny. That sort of sealed the deal.


Although that's never stopped me posting anything before.

I did once convince a girl in NY that I was a dolphin trainer at Edinburgh zoo if that helps?

[ETC]

I'm an SEO consultant working for an Essex based SEM agency.

Ha ha I had to google what an SEO consultant was then to add insult to injury I also had to google what a SEM agency is, I thought you were going to be a doctor or a spy

Haha that all sounds a bit "rapey"...

Not that I'm any better, I went to a nightclub in Liverpool after Xmas and they'd cordoned off a VIP area and were giving free drinks to some some girl who was going to be at the Olympics (BMXing or some such extremery, I forget what it actually was) so my friends told the bouncers I was the country's premier hope for a Gold in Gymnastics (I studied ballet after school and weekends for 8 years) so I stood on one foot and did a standing split to "prove it" and we got a free bottle of Moet in the VIP section and free Cocktail pitchers all night from "my adoring public" (Read: Drunk Horny Club Guys)...

What???

Her: "So what do you do for a living in Scotland?"

Me: "I'm a dolphin trainer at Edinburgh zoo" having a drunken wind up, Edinburgh zoo doesn't even have dolphins!

= Rapey???

Jesus, thank god I don't have to try having a laugh with random women in pubs any more!

I meant "Hello little girl, I train dolphins at Edinburgh zoo, want to come with me and meet flipper"

I was joking?

Jesus, thank god I don't try to have a laugh with random men on the internet any more!

:P

I always suspected ikobo was a rapist.

Happy with that post are you?

[Charlie]

I chuckled to myself as I posted it so I suppose I am.

But I'm just playing on Pikate's translation. Take it as you will but know it was posted as a joke.

[Colin]

Fair enough. You're a moronic druggie ****wit. Take it as you will, but know it was a joke.

[Charlie]

Joke in italics? Hmm... I ain't interested in mind games so I won't read anything into that. My comment was an honest joke, if you didn't find it funny, fair enough, if it pissed you off I don't really understand why but apologise anyway.

Jesus, these days I'm like that gremlin on the wing of the plane in that Twilight Zone episode with Bill Shatner. I'm derailing threads all over the place... (Yes, I realise I'm mixing Plane and Train similies/metaphors )

I think the 'R' word is pretty contentious and should only really be used if someone is truly comfortable with the other person, a bit like the 'N' word.

Maybe chalk it all down to perhaps a slightly wonky choice of words and move on?

[Charlie]

It's all sorted now.
