Post #163,323 by Andrew Grygus 7/7/04 9:23:29 PM Reply	Well, I certainly can't blame a guy . . . . for wanting to get out of IT, or for actually doing it - but that's no real reason for leaving IWeThey. I suspect half the people here today won't be in IT 10 years from now - whether voluntarily or no. Fortunately, most IT folks know they would make very poor insurance salesmen, so I'm not expecting any calls. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Post #163,332 by Andrew Grygus 7/7/04 10:16:37 PM Reply	No - I'm black listed. Last guy I referred an Insurance salesman to was Ray Carol. His resume: Minor scars from having the landing craft he was driving blown out from under him by Japanese artillery. More minor scars caused by the rifle he grabbed from a dead guy on the beach - it proved defective and exploded. He discarded it for another. Bullet hole in left sholder from trying to lift a case of sake from a Japanese supply depot while the war was still going. Bayonet wound in other sholder from trying to do the same a couple of weeks later. Cut nearly in half by a Jpanese machine gunner. Guts patched up with guinae pig gut (that doesn't show, but that his entire midsection is scar tissue does). His response to questions, "Oh, that, I was shot". Discharged from Navy. Scar up one leg from snaging on sharp sheet metal while taking a flying leap out of the wing of a B52 he was inspecting the fuel tanks of. He thought the plane was exploding but it was just the explosive charges that set off the fire extinguishers - they went off when he wiggled a defective wire. Better to jump now and analyze later. Scar up left temple from a 3" hex nut from a missile silo that blew up killing everyone standing around him. Semicircular scars on his forhead from being hit with a pair of professional bongos by the girlfriend of a musician he was beating up in a barroom brawl. Interesting scar pattern on top of his bald head from being hit over the head with a bottle of champaign at a party. He responded by throwing the guy out through a window. The cop said, "I see it broke because you're not dead". More scars on his head (I had to photograph that injury soon after it happened) from being hit by a stolen truck driven by a guy wanted in 6 states (he was knocked down and one tire hit his head as the guy drove away). More that I've forgotten. Insurance guy's statement, "Ray Carol will live forever - but I'm not insuring him". [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
