Work
Back in Amsterdam – my mother is still craving ice cream.
On the way to the hospital a taxi driver asked me: “Do you work in the hospital?”
I was tired – I answered: “Yes.”
“What kind of doctor are you?” he wanted to know.
“A cardiologist,” I answered.
There was no way back, for 15 minutes I had to talk about my “profession”.
(Some of the commenters on this site sent my mother postcards. They are hanging on the wall in her hospital room.)

May be your ....... could't resist your KAPA
I am curious what you said about your cardiologist profession. I hope you chose to talk about heart transplants or risky open heart surgery. Preferably in some field hospital in Congo, but that are details. Could maybe be a good idea for a new series of 'Kamermeisjes & soldaten', you as a fake cardiologist. Risky but very exciting.
