Jobs I Would Be Good At
Singer
(of a band that wants a terrible singer)
Soldier
(the kind you dip into a boiled egg)
Chef
(for people who dislike food)
Footballer
(against teams with zero players)
Astronaut
(of a space expedition that gets cancelled)
Teacher
(if the subject I teach is how to forget things)
