Went to a cousin's 50th wedding anniversary last night and didn't know most of the people there. When meeting new people you inevitably get asked "What do you do for a living"? After a couple glasses of Scotch I started making stuff up

I told one young lady (in her 50s) that

"I wrote jokes for the CIA"

Once she decided to play along she said

"And I bet you can't tell me one because they're still secret"

"Yep, next question"

If asked what you do for a living and you felt you could get away with the most outlandish lie

What would you say?

I hate dinner parties and fake small talk. So, for years I would tell people what I did in the most horrific way possible. I worked in hospitals dealing with psych patients and folks experiencing a "mental health crisis."

I stop people from jumping off of buildings and murdering people.

If the vibe was pretty cool I would just say, "I work with behavioral health patients."

I have come up with a few...

- Professional Nerf herder
- Suburban Robot. As part of the smart patrol, I monitor reality and shove the poles in the holes.
- Part of the deep state, looking for ways to take your guns, flags and trucks away from you.
- Tinfoil Milliner
