This punny story is found in our very own By George Treasury<\/em>:<\/p>\n

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned . . . couldn’t concentrate. \u00a0Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn’t hack it, so they gave me the axe.\u00a0 After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn’t suited for it, mainly because it was a so-so job.\u00a0 Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that was too exhausting. \u00a0Then I tried to be a chef, figured it would add a little spice to my life, but I just didn’t have the thyme. \u00a0I attempted to be a deli worker, but anyway I sliced it, I couldn’t cut the mustard.<\/p>\n

My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found I wasn’t noteworthy. \u00a0I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn’t have any patience. \u00a0Next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried but I just didn’t fit in. \u00a0I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn’t live on my net income.\u00a0 I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining. \u00a0So then I got a job in a workout center, but they said I wasn’t fit for the job.<\/p>\n

After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as an historian, until I realized there was no future in it. \u00a0My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind. \u00a0So, I recently retired and I found I\u2019m perfect for the job!<\/p>\n
