37. Towne Drunke isn't really a "job", so I'm gonna go with "blacksmith".

I'm very good at making things, and "blacksmith" has the
widest and most varied assortment of tasks, so it's never
boring.

Not to mention the incredible upper-body workout I'd get every day-
I'd be firm, toned, and glistening with sweat every time your
wives came by to trade potatos for a bag of nails. :evilgrin:

[El Fuego]
