Once told a bird that I was a lab technician, the one that lights the cigarettes for the beagles and drops the chemicals into bunny rabbits eyes. Didnt see much of her after that!

Once told mate's potential ladyfriend (whilst said mate went to point Percy) that he was a Chocolate Consultant for Cadbury's, specialising in Fudge Packing techniques.

Travellers in aluminium and kerosene, or brain surgeons.

Nothing matters very much, most things don't matter at all.

Underwater cameraman for greenpeace - film to stop the dolphins getting caught up with the tunas in the trawler nets - heroic, but fluffy. Really scary when you nearly get caught up in the net etc....

Once heard of a guy who worked at a garage on the forecourt, pumping tyres and cleaning windscreens, said he was an Airline Executive.

One line that genuinely used to work with ladies when I was a rock and roll roadie (I 5hit you not) "I might not be the leader of the pack but I am the packer of the leads..."
Make of that one what you will.

The scientist folk at the Aberdeen Marine Lab who take underwater video of trawl nets etc, were all, strictly speaking, MAFFDivers (Now DEFRA Divers, so joke over...)

For signing on the dole,'Coronation Programme Seller' minimised the chance of a vacancy turning up, bit that's getting a bit risky as Betty gets older, so maybe I'll start putting down 'Lamplighter' again...
