Kind of a silly game that I made up this weekend, appropriate for our questionable economy. Feel free to try your hand at it:
“I was going to be a plumber, but it was too draining.”
“I wanted to go into vacuum science, but I sucked at it.”
“They wanted me to become a fencer, but I never got the point.”
“I was in the pillow stuffing biz, but it only got me down.”
“I was going to become a tunnel driller, but it was boring.”
“They said I’d get rich selling photocopies, but I was duped.”
“I joined a food preserve company, but they canned me.”
“I was a lumberjack, until I got the axe.”
“I was a deep sea diver, but I couldn’t take the pressure.”
“I wanted to be a lion tamer, but I couldn’t handle it.”
“I was a postman, until I got the sack.”
“I tried being a bicycle, but I became too tired”
“I was going to be a programmer, but I couldn’t crack the code.”
“At first I wanted to be a breakfast chef, but now I’m starting to waffle.”
These are all awesome!
I used to tell people I wanted to make my living as a comedian, but they just laughed. 😉
I wanted to be a professor, but I couldn’t learn how.
I wanted to be a farmer, but I didn’t like the field.
(A riff on “That farmer, he is outstanding in his field!” – a joke farmers tell each other…)
I became an audio engineer, it wasn’t a very sound choice of career.
“I wanted to be a fisherman, but I just couldn’t get hooked on it.”
“I tried to show artwork in a gallery, but I couldn’t get the hang of it.”
“I wanted to be a juggler, but I dropped the ball.”
“I tried to be a tailor, but I wasn’t suited.”
“I wanted to be a quantum physicist but I wasn’t entangled.”
Not sure if it’s the proper but I tryed 😀

I was going to be a gym instructor, but it didn’t work out.
I was going to run the atrium elevator, but I hit the glass ceiling.
I wanted to take a second job at NIST, but I didn’t have the time.
(Reversing figure/ground): I tried to give up stealing bathroom accessories, but I took the plunge.
(Stretching the rules): I was supposed to put the bio chemicals at the top of the cabinet, but my enzymes were low.
I never wanted to be a navigator, it just wasn’t on my radar.
I was supposed to reboot the pornsite server, but I couldn’t get it up.
Wow, that’s awesome!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
