Publishing... Yup, people still buy books

I stupidly downplayed my math strength in college and ended up as an estate planning/probate/elder law attorney.

make airplanes miss

And a big THANK YOU from all of us who spend time in the skies....

We were USAF version of FAA flight check. Army/Marine mobile setups, as well as periodic on military installations. ASR/PAR, ILS, VORTACS...Was fun during Desert Shield/Storm. Commissioned Al Kharj on a Thursday, by Sunday night was largest fighter base in the world...I had been a crew chief on the Jetstars, then went to Flight Check as an engineer. My responsibilities were aircraft related. Sat in the jumpseat. Once in awhile i moonlighted on the Theo. ..they've since merged with FAA crews. We had converted to Hawkers, now they fly Challengers. All based in OKC. Best duty I ever had.

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

The Dos Equis guy has some work to do to catch up with you...you are amazing, Sir...

Don't know how much of this is true, but it is easily the funniest thing I've read in months. You should have your own reality show! Well done sir, well done

I work as a researcher for a health insurance company, perusing medical records and coordinating cases for our nurse team and then deciphering their determinations to make sure claims are processed correctly, and I request medical records from doctors and hospitals as well. And almost all of it nowadays is done from my home office, where my 4 Boston Terriers are literally the best office mates I've ever had.
