If you met * and you didn't know who he was
what would you think he did for a living?

I'd probably guess he runs a gas station or something like that. Small-business owner/manager.

2. Well, if he had an accountant
But I can see him doing PR-type stuff — trying to convince people that $3.40 per gallon is actually good for them.

18. That's what I would guess.
The kind of used car salesman that you sell you a real lemon but swear it was in "tip top" condition.

6. Maybe some kinda preacher or something...
he's got that kinda believe-this-right-now look.

That could also make him some kinda sleasy door-to-door salesman....but my first thought would be fundie preacher.

9. Middle management at daddy's business.



Salaried with an odd job title, a company car, a three hour work-day, lots of busy work, no oversight responsibility, a personal secretary to fix his mess-ups and fake respect from co-workers who secretly despise him for the practical jokes he plays on them in a passive-aggressive effort to score frat boy "buddy" points.


Yeah.

10. I don't think I'd give him enough thought to even guess...
I Can see him as a used car salesman, though. Or hauling something.
