Imagine if you had gotten the job. You could be at your family X-mas gathering and grandma says, "I'm so proud you got your first job. Who was that with again?"

"Hustler grandma."

"Hustler, are you in sales?"

"Yeah, that's right grandma, I peddle flesh."

Sorry to bag on it, but the variations are quite interesting. Would go over real well in church I suppose.
