    Dangerous job though, and you would be shunned by the womenfolk.
    could you live with that?

    I'd be a Luddite trying to jump on windmill blades to stop them turning, and as I spun around and round I'd be screaming stuff like "this sort of thing will end with us all watching 2 wenches going to the chamberpot in a cup, consider thineselves verily told!".

    I'd want to be one of those ridiculously rich man about town types who spent all their time drinking and socialising in expensive suits.
