stevie1957 10 #1 Posted March 20, 2005 I often read owdlad's posts. Some of them are very amusing. I checked on his profile and he states his Occupation as a "retired goosbury shaver". One of my younger brothers is a highly skilled electrician. He is also a biker….long hair…leathers (Leather and Simpson)……and Triumph Bonny, which he bought new and paid cash for in 1979. When people ask him what is his trade/job etc…he sometimes tells them he is a road sweeper and that he is very proud of his well maintained brush and cart. What have you told people you do for a living? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Sam Miguel 10 #3 Posted March 20, 2005 I used to tell girls that I was a shepherd. You'd be amazed how many believed me. If they did, it was great conversation maker as it fascinated them. They would often ask me if I could do the special whistles, but I told them I had an electronic device that made the noises, this got me out of a tight spot as I can't whistle for the life of me.
