RE: Old Occupations

I certainly don't take claim for this one,  but the "oldest profession" may not be the one you're thinking of:

A man walked into a tavern and sat next to a very attractive, smartly
dressed woman perched on a bar stool. "Hi there, Good Looking. How's it
going?" he asked.

The woman looked him straight in the eye and said, "Listen, I'll screw
anybody, anytime, anywhere, your place, my place, it doesn't matter.
I've been doing it ever since I got out of college, and I just love it!"

"No kidding?," said the man, "I'm a lawyer too! What firm are you with?"
