I once read that the Egyptians used copper chisels with hardened tips. Unfortunately they didn’t explain how they hardened them.

Maybe there is a known way to do it?

I once knew a fellow Sheriffs Deputy who rode motorcycle patrol during the summer months. His name? Harley Rider.

Well James Bond once met a female pilot employed by Auric Goldfinger whose last name was Galore.

Well, I certainly never thought I’d end my career being in charge of LDAP configuration and administration. Getting the Novell eDirectory to play nice with Business Objects and SAP databases was quite challenging.

What does AI stand for in that context?

Dallas, Tx. 1986 : I was young and brash, a bit bold, due to the alcohol consumed earlier and trying to make conversation at 2:00 AM with the 'older' woman sitting next to me at the all night dinner. I was getting nowhere fast. I asked what she did for a living, as she was about to leave:

"Well, when you get arrested by the Dallas PD, I'm the one who will take your prints and picture."

"That being the case, I hope I never see you again."

She laughed. The ice had been broken.

Artificial inseminator.

It turns out being an artificial inseminator is not easy. If they don’t get kicked by the horse or cow they end up with carpal tunnel syndrome.

You sound like the future version of my seventeen year old. He’s wanted to go into the military since he was quite young. But asthma. He’s been in the local Police Explorers for a few years and just returned from a conference/skills competition. It confirmed just how much he wants to go into law enforcement.

I wonder what his view will be in a couple of decades.

I fix technical problems for businesses in a lot of different industries.

It’s hard to find work, but I love working. Make about $120 to $180 per hour.

But now I have a product coming to market, and hope to stop thinking of work in hourly terms.

Maybe not. I knew a guy a year or so behind me in high school who apprenticed at the only funeral home in town.

I want to be a bridesmaid. Is this something a 240 pound guy can do? I checked out the crab fisherman job but that seems like a lot of work. If I am a bridesmaid, do I get to take advantage of open bar during the reception?

Seriously - apparently carpal tunnel is a real occupational hazard.

Also, many years ago I remember reading that at least one elephant inseminator a year dies trying to either inseminate an elephant or get sperm from a male elephant.

Just because you de-legitimize religion doesn’t mean people lose their craving for the rituals and engagement it provides.

Gal that did my hair for years was also a mortuary cosmetologist.

I don’t see a robot doing that job very soon.
