    I'm heading off on my holidays in a couple of days, to a place where shallow people and deep wallets abound. It's not a place where the ladies will be impressed when you tell them you're a taximan, so I've decided to tell them I'm in human trafficking.


    Have any of you ever sexed up your profession?

    OP, what on earth gave you the idea this was a good thread title?

    I've got Herpes all over, deard god, please help.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 442 ✭✭Arpa


    Jesus...human trafficking? I know it's a pun, but I think you'd be better off sticking with Taximan mate.

    I have "exaggerated" not "bummed" my occupation a few times.

    Maybe you were thinking of the phrase, "big yerself up" ........."bummed"............no, no....definitely not bummed.

    You must be going somewhere fancy like Longford.

    Just tell the locals you're a cattle dealer and you'll be wellies deep in clunge.

    Where To, have you ever watched the film "Catch me if you can"?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    I convinced a group of girls I was a new made Lord from Skibbereen and that I owned a manor estate with 20 acres of forest, a private lake and some farm land that is rented out. I told them my grandfather had just died and that it passed to me as the eldest son of my father. (neither are dead, I just had to fcuk about to keep the lie going) They believed every word of it.

    So, while not my profession, yes, I made my life far more amazing than it is haha.

    Told two lady solicitors that me and my mate were fighter pilots. This was back in the '80's and we were in fact private soldiers. I was going out with one of the women for a few weeks and kept up the charade. One day I went to the bank with a mate and we were both in uniform. Bumped into the solicitor outside the bank.She just smirked and asked what happened to the fighter pilots. Mate answered " He was just shot down". And I was.

    I thought this thread was going to be about people backing into dildos with those suction cups at the end so they can stick onto a wall.

    Being female, I find that my chances increase if I sex my profession down... Massively.

    I think I'll remove that.
    Might leave a bad impression.
    But don't you deny it.

    I remember giving a lift to a group of lads going to Ennis. On the way I had to stop at a couple of their houses. When they came out I noticed they had changed into black suits and ties. Their plan was when they got to a nightclub to all chip in for a bottle of champagne and to make sure everyone saw them.

    When they were asked what they were celebrating they would tell people that they were all brothers and they had just had a meeting with their solicitor. They were given the news that their deceased bachelor uncle had just left them everything. A large stately home, 200acres of land and about half a million each.

    I don't know how they got on but I hope they spent loadsa money and no women gave them the time of day.

    When I was much younger, my first ever job was at a petrol station, pretty much pumping petrol. I would refer to myself as a Fuel-Injection Engineer.

    The best I've ever seen was a mate who spun the story that he was a marine biologist and when asked about it nonchalantly mentioned the dolphins he trained... :rolleyes:

    Worked though.

    Do people not use that phrase everywhere?
    I thought they did. A 'bum' here means a person who likes to boast about themselves.

    Sorry for the confusion.:(

    I used to work in a very fancy restaurant, and people would leave business cards in the crystal vase on the reception desk.

    Before I went to Vegas I rooted through them, picking out the best most impressive dozen, and at any particular moment I could be any one of the dozen :-)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 555 ✭✭✭Hippies!


    I've bummed myself down, I find when I tell women what I do they get over excited and expect me to be something I'm not so usually I pretend to be an average joe soap and see if they like me for me :o

    When I was a window cleaner I had business cards made up with profession listed as 'Wall to wall transparency co-ordinatar'

    (most confusing thread title ever)

    Myself and a few friends were in Hicksville USA some time back and of course when the locals heard the accents they were fascinated.

    When the standard question "So what are you guys doing over here" question arose, I cut across my friend who was just about to give the usual spiel and told the locals we were working for the European Military Alliance. Nearby was the White Sands Missile range, so I thought it appropriate to tell them that we worked on software and control systems for missiles. My friend decided to get in on the act and asked them "You know how on CNN you see the missiles, in black-and-white, zooming in on the target?". To which, of course, they replied in the affirmative, "Well, we go around an pick up the ones that miss and try to and fix them."

    True Story.
