Do your mates know how much you earn?

I usually tell my neighbours and mates, that on order to fund my wife's lifestyle, I'm a milkman till 10am, postman till 2pm and general drug dealer till 10pm.

It usually acts as a good conversation killer..............

Just tell 'em you work in IT - i find that tends to kill most conversations stone dead, if it dosent, and they then feign interest and ask me what I do exactly, their eyes glaze over at the next answer

I find that when I tell people I'm a mathematician / statistician their eyes just ... glaze over. Other typical reactions are:

"I was rubbish at maths at school" (why the heck is this something to be proud of FFS?)

"Oh, so can you predict the lottery outcome then?" (to which my reaction (internally) would normally be "if I could do you think I'd be standing here talking to you?"

"So you're responsible for the credit crunch then (I work in banking)?" (erm, no. We were the guys saying that the crunch was coming and no-one was listening).

This is a "miss thread" because no one here has any friends

Why bother when we can buy new ones?

Even better go to www.rentapal.com where you can hire Paul for the day.

To think I used to accuse my brothers of having to call rent-a-friend when I was 10 years old - lo and behold it has come to pass..
