mc5 - ... so help me God.

For a while I worked in a lingere shop, but they gave me the pink slip.

I used to put peas in tins, 44 per tin. One day I got my pea 45.

I used to be a ritual circumciser, but one day I slipped and got the sack.

I used to be a train conductor, but resigned when I realised I was going nowhere.

I used to be a trapeze artist until I was dropped.

I studied to be a florist, but my career was nipped in the bud.

I once had a job in a towel factory, but the company folded.
