Currently involved in the oldest profession. I sell screws. PHD (push here dummy) degree from the school of hard knocks. Former Firefighter/Paramedic, former US Army 7th Special Forces. Side line of granite, marble, and tile work. Married 13 years and no kids.
Former formula car driver, Trans-Am driver, car builder, crew chief, mechanical junkie that has owned, driven, or ridden in just about every dream machine you can think of (3 big exceptions, MaClaren F-1, Porsche GT-1, & Mercedes CLK-GTR). I have been over 190mph on 2 wheels and over 180mph on 4 wheels. Current goals are for over 200mph on both.

Now that I see that everyone, except MRBBQMAN and BMWBig6, is serious about this thread, I'm ready to come clean about my profession.
I'm a professional wobble shaft replacer.
When a fluctuation valve overlaps it usually causes the johnson rod to disconnect from the knibling pin. When this happens the wobble shaft is put in an extreme quagmire and suffers catastophic failure. I'm the guy that replaces them.
I feel much better now, thanks!

SLVRLTNG,
I come clean with you guys and you make fun of me! You didn't make fun of Rosie Odonell when she came out of the closet but it's different with me?
I tell the truth and all of a sudden I'm a Jim Baker! At least I didn't ask you to send me $1000 dollars to finance my Shoelase factory
