What would you choose as an alternate profession for Jim ?

There's a very good Russian anecdote to the theme.
A plastic surgeon makes a very-very difficult operation on the face. scalpel in the hand, he, in assiduous manner for several hours operates on the scin, but suddenly his patience ends and he, nervously, scalpel in the fist, begins to wave on the face with crying:" A-a-a! It doesn't arrive!!!"...

Does it make one laugh?..

Aly - I did not get the joke and laughed because I didn't

I'm curious to know the punch line. What didn't arrive ?

Sorry Aly ... but I didn't get it either

LMC!

I read this thread (hey, it rhymes!!!) for the first time today and agree again with carreyd away--massage therapist. And not for the same reason that I think you sex-fiends are thinking!!!

I am a massage therapist and love the field--I think it requires an ability to be quiet inside and listen. Not to the person that might be nervously chatting, but to the bones, and the muscle--the tissue....I know it sounds totally off-the -wall but they speak! Honest!
It seems that Jim is highly reflective, able to go inside himself and be quiet and listen to those around him (even when he's being crazy!) and I think a big reason he is so nuts is the desire to get peoples minds off their troubles and just laugh for a few minutes! Massage is a proven stress reducer!!!!!!!! I think he could make a very decent living as a massage therapist!! lol
Ok,sry that I got up on my soap box and preached....I'll try to contain myself....
