I decided to wait until after the election before designating myself as either "retired" or "unemployed". It's official now... I'm calling meself retired. So I'll be nothin' but a bow-leggedly corn cob pipe chewin' land-lubber from here on out.

Maybe I can do some occasional day labor... or maybe work from home? Posting messages at this board seems to be the only real job I have at the moment, and I'm working for less than peanuts....

.... ( ? )

Eureka, that's it! I know what to do now! I'll get a job working for peanuts... dry roasted peanuts.

Iamon lyme: ???? You gonna join the circus and be an elephant?

Artful Dodger: Elephant? I'd have more luck passing myself off as the Bearded Lady. Add a little padding here and there, let my hair grow out... use the ladies room instead of the other one. If I forget and start walking into the mens room someone might get suspicious and... and, uh... wait a sec... Peanuts!! That's right... I forgot about the peanuts!
Okay then, forget the circus... I'll get a job as peanut inspector at a dry roasted peanut factory.

Iamon lyme: Everybody who worked on Carter's farm worked for peanuts. Sort of.
