Listers, Here is an interesting website that I just found. It is long so you will probably need to copy and paste the URL. I just learned that a "snob" is a person who repairs shoes and all this time I thought it was a snooty rich person <G>. I didn't know that my poor Irish gr grandfather was a snob!!! Some of these are familiar but others are very different from what you would think. Example: Pigman - No, it is not a hog farmer. It is a person who deals with crockery, now what does that have to do with pigs!!! http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~msharp/occupations.htm?rc=locale%7e&us=0&o_xid=0022468880&o_lid=0022468880&o_xt=22478094 All incoming and outgoing messages scanned by Norton Anti Virus Software.
