I'm a 37-year-old man, a single child of a single parent, who at the time of this writing has no children (though there's that summer of '87 that I can't seem to account for) and what's the one job that comes to mind that I would be completely unsuited for, other then an aerobics instructor (though I do look good in spandex , if the lighting is low enough)?
