Elvis drove a delivery truck,Jimi Hendrix was a paratrooper with the Screamin' Eagles for a while.I believe that it was Roger Daltry or Rod Stewart that was a grave digger.

Stevie Ray Vaughan worked at a burger joint and managed to fall into a barrel of grease. He decided then and there that he was just going to stick to playing guitar. And he did, he didn't have another "real" job ever again.

I'm guessing sales for some sort of telecommunications company/provider? :wink:

Its okay...I work in an adult bookstore and drug lab...

Let me clarify, as I work in a college bookstore, so out clients are adults... :lol:

And then I work in a computer lab, but since the college students are addicted to facebook, twitter, and IM'ing as bad as crack addicts, its sort of a digital drug lab... :P

Or maybe I just have a truly warped sense of humor... :twisted:
