What do you do? How do you afford a Ferrari?

My standard answer is: "I sell drugs". It's mostly true.

 

"Im an adult film actor"

 

I tell them I'm a farmer (sorry Farmer Dave).

 

I say this whenever someone ask's what I do because I hate the guys that go around saying they are millionaires to impress ladies when in reality they have an apartment. And no disrespect if you really are...

but I say that " I'm a photographer for National Geographic"

 

Pimp

Drug dealer

Transvestite prostitute on the weekends

etc...

 

I always hate this question. If someone ask me, with a car, boat or what, and I am feeling prickly I respond "IRS field agent, second in the state, what do you do?" It has worked like nothing else I have ever said.

 

I had a guy, just the other day, pull up to me at a light in a pickup, (first question), What kind is it? I tell him it is a 308. ,(second question), What do you do? I tell him the truth and say I am a sculptor. Boy, you should have seen the look on his face. He just could not get a handle on that. His mouth just hung open and he didn't know what to say. Luckily the light turned, so I just waved and went on my way.

my dad used to work for the IRS. When a cop pulled him over and started some small talk he asked him what he did. My dad look really closely at the cops name badge and told him that he worked for the IRS and showed his badge....he got outta the ticket

 

When people ask me what I do I just tell them that I work in New Mexico for the government (which is true for part of the year) or that i'm a mechanical engineering student. They usually want to know more about my job, so i'll tell them that the lab I work for does tons of stuff in the national interest (energy, military stuff, serospace, etc) but primarily is responsible for our nuclear weapons stockpile (which is also true). At this point people assume I work at Los Alamos (which I dont). Sometimes I'll tell them I work at Sandia, sometimes I wont. If they ask anything else I just tell them that it's classified and I cant tell them (which isn't true, but they stop asking questions).

 

I stare at a glowing box all day for a living, just like you right now, except that I get paid for it.
First Ferrari at 30, second at 35.
Btw, if you come across my debt settlement account, please accidentally misplace it in the recycling bin. I actually answered your querry.

 

I honestly just saw this-- what was my first reaction?

"Why did someone bump a two year old thread?"

C.

 

Overseas Defense Contractor - 29 yrs of age for my first F-Car...selling it now because I'm never in the US to drive it...go figure.

 

I thought this was a fairly normal question regardless of what you drive. I get asked fairly frequently. In the context of seeing an exotic car, the question might have undertones of "how do you make so much money", and I can see how that might be annoying.
When people asked about my dad, I was taught to say "I am not at liberty to say".

 

You know, you guys could just start a thread where each person just says his/her Fchat name, and what they do. That way, people on the forums can just be told to find that thread.



For people who ask when you aren't GLUED to your computers ():

"I'd tell you, but than I'd have to kill you"

 

I always answer"I sell SMC"....Obvious reply"really!" No telling how many people have bought my line of bull and bought into the SMC gimmick.

 

what's SMC?

 

I tell them I work at McD's.

a la letterman style...

 

F**K YEAH!!!!!

Awesome!!!!!!!

 

I have a friend who usually answers "Drugs and Prostitution"

 

If you have the nerve to drive that "in your face car" around,
They have the right to ask, what do you do.
Or are you to importain to answer that question.
Mr big shot Ferrari driver. Just kiddin

 

I tell them I sell Herbalife, lose weight now, ask me how....

 

What do I do? I spend most of my time trying to determine if snakes behave like a radial tire or a bias ply tire when they bite their own tail and roll away like a giant hula hoop. The rest of the time, I train flying squirrells to fly through the rolling snake hoop much like a trained falcon. In my off time, I put on my scuba gear, swim underwater, and use a fishing rod to cast floating baits up to the surface in order to catch flying fish.

 

I once replied to: "How much?"

With:

--> "How much was your wife's engagement ring?"
