mc5 - ... so help me God.

I was a video editor, but I just couldn't cut it.

I used to work for King Midas, until I was given the golden handshake.

I used to work at Mornington Crescent, but they told me my job was on the line.

I used to write crosswords, but as it turned out I was clueless.

I fully understand, Tina. I used to bury myself in the cryptics, but - being an alien - I was interred.
